主题范围

Mitigation and adaptation are two complimentary strategies to respond to climate change which is one of the most pressing and complex challenges today. While mitigation aims to reduce the net release of greenhouse gases, limiting the rate of a warming planet, adaptation includes actions to help populations adjust to the current and future effects of climate change and help them avoid their associated health impacts. The Paris Agreement in 2015, to which almost all countries in the world agreed, set worldwide targets for mitigation, however, today, mitigation is not on track to meet these targets. These failures make adaptation strategies even more important.

In this focus issue, we aim to bring together innovative research, pioneering methodologies and comprehensive scoping and systematic reviews to address the diverse dimensions of climate change adaptation and mitigation effective strategies in association with human health. Topics of interest include but are not limited to:

1. Adaptation Strategies: Studies on adaptive measures across different sectors, including agriculture, food systems, air quality, water resources, urban planning, and public health, displaying how communities and ecosystems are adjusting to climate impacts and how these strategies improve health outcomes.
2. Mitigation Approaches: Research on technological advancements, policy frameworks, behavioral interventions, and economic strategies aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions and enhancing carbon sinks with a direct or indirect association with human health.
3. Integrated Solutions: Articles that explore the synergies and trade-offs between adaptation and mitigation, promoting holistic approaches that maximize co-benefits while minimizing adverse health outcomes.
4. Policy and Governance: Analyses of international, national, and local policies that facilitate or hinder climate action, including discussions on climate justice, equity, and the role of governance in effective climate response to improve public health.
5. Socio-economic Impacts: Investigations into the social, economic, and cultural dimensions of climate change, focusing on vulnerable populations and the measures needed to protect and empower these groups regarding health outcomes.
6. Innovative Research Methods: Contributions that introduce novel scientific tools, models, and interdisciplinary approaches for studying and addressing climate change and health challenges.

By bringing together this focus issue, we strive to inspire actionable insights and foster collaborations among scientists, policymakers, and practitioners on the topic of climate change adaptation and mitigation and human health. This focus issue aims to highlight the scientific community’s commitment to tackling climate change and improving health outcomes but also a call to action for enhanced global cooperation and innovation in mitigation and adaptation for public health.
