来自30多个国家的近150名研究人员呼吁将气候变化宣布为“全球健康紧急状态”,指出自《巴黎协定》签署以来,热射病、干旱和粮食不安全导致的健康与经济损害急剧加速 1。根据《柳叶刀倒计时》年度报告,仅2023年就有超过50万人死于高温;自2016年以来累计约300万相关死亡 1。去年因高温造成的潜在收入损失达1.07万亿美元 1。
报告数据显示,2025年高温导致5730亿潜在工作小时损失,非洲和东南亚脆弱经济体GDP损失达5% 1。与此同时,2024年全球能源相关排放创历史新高,化石燃料仍供应全球80%以上能源 1。参与研究的专家Alan Dangour称:“我们必须改变路线,将人们的健康和福祉置于应对气候变化的核心。” 1
专家批评目前化石燃料补贴翻倍且进展缓慢 1。政府用于化石燃料的补贴自2016年以来翻倍至6.2万亿美元 1。2024年有10个国家在此项上的支出超过其整个卫生系统 1。Marina Romanello形容对化石燃料的新投资就像“在有Netflix的情况下投资百视达(Blockbuster)” 1。
专家建议建立新的世界卫生组织机制以协调应对 1。资金方面,发展中国家每年需约33亿美元用于卫生系统适应气候变化,但2024年仅承诺了约三分之一 1。
Nearly 150 researchers from more than 30 countries have urged the international community to declare climate change a "global health emergency," citing accelerating damage to public health and economies since the signing of the Paris Agreement 1. The call, issued on October 28, 2026, is grounded in findings from the annual Lancet Countdown report, which highlights a sharp rise in health harms linked to heatstroke, droughts, and food insecurity 1. Alan Dangour, one of the experts involved, stated that "we must change course and put people's health and well-being at the center of climate action" 1.
The data presented reveals severe human and economic costs attributed to rising temperatures. In 2023 alone, over 500,000 deaths were linked to heat-related causes, bringing the cumulative total to approximately 3 million since 2016 1. Economic impacts are equally stark; potential income losses due to high temperatures reached $1.07 trillion last year 1. By 2025, extreme heat is projected to cause the loss of 573 billion potential working hours, while vulnerable economies in Africa and Southeast Asia face GDP losses amounting to 5% 1. Meanwhile, global energy-related emissions hit record highs in 2024, with fossil fuels still supplying more than 80% of the world's energy needs 1.
Experts criticized current policy responses as insufficient and misaligned with health priorities. Government subsidies for fossil fuels have doubled since 2016 to reach $6.2 trillion, and in 2024, ten nations spent more on these subsidies than on their entire healthcare systems 1. Furthermore, developing countries require approximately $3.3 billion annually to adapt their health systems to climate change, yet only about one-third of this amount was pledged in 2024 1. Marina Romanello described investing in new fossil fuel infrastructure as akin to "investing in Blockbuster when Netflix exists" 1. To address these gaps, the researchers proposed establishing a new World Health Organization mechanism to coordinate the response to the climate-health crisis 1.
