研究作者表示,关于与气候变化相关的受伤事故调查一直都是研究盲点。先前的研究调查了气候变化导致因诸如热病或由蚊子传播的疾病而去世的人数增多的原因。世界卫生组织表示,2030至2050年间,每年将约有25万人死于因气候变化加剧导致的营养不良、疟疾、腹泻和中暑。
But 5 million people die from injuries across the globe each year, making up nearly one in ten of all deaths. Many of those injuries can be prevented, which is why the authors say they ought to be considered as part of efforts to better prepare for a future with potentially catastrophic climate change.
但全球每年有500万人因受伤离世,约占总死亡率的十分之一。此类受伤事故中,很多都是可预防的,因此研究作者认为应采取相应措施,以更好的应对未来可能发生的灾难性气候变化。
Some of the injuries they looked at are unintentional, including deaths from drownings, falls, and car accidents. The study also looked at intentionally inflicted injuries from assaults and suicide, which could point to how important it is to address mental health as people adapt to a changing planet. Another study found that suicide rates in the US and Mexico rose along with higher average monthly temperatures.
一部分的受伤事件都是无意行为,包括溺水、摔倒和交通事故造成的死亡。研究也关注了袭击和自杀造成的故意伤害,间接表明在面对气候变化时,解决心理健康十分重要。另一项研究发现:美国和墨西哥的自杀率随着每月平均气温的升高而上升。
