What is Climate?01:16

What is Climate?

21.3K
Climate refers to the prevailing weather conditions in a specific area over an extended period. As the saying goes, “Climate is what you expect. Weather is what you get.” Climate is influenced by geographic factors, such as latitude, terrain, and proximity to bodies of water.

Global Climate Change

29.6K
Throughout its ~4.5 billion year history, the Earth has experienced periods of warming and cooling. However, the current drastic increase in global temperatures is well outside of the Earth’s cyclic norms, and evidence for human-caused global climate change is compelling. Paleoclimatology, the study of ancient climate conditions, provides ample evidence for human-caused global climate change by comparing recent conditions with those in the past.

Microbes and Climate Change

15
Microorganisms are pivotal agents in Earth's biogeochemical cycles, significantly influencing climate dynamics through their metabolic activities. These microbes modulate the levels of key greenhouse gases by both contributing to and helping mitigate climate change.Microbial Contributions to Greenhouse Gas EmissionsRising global temperatures accelerate microbial metabolism, which, in turn, speeds up the decomposition of organic matter. This process releases carbon dioxide (CO₂) through...

Models of Health Promotion and Illness Prevention II01:18

Models of Health Promotion and Illness Prevention II

2.2K
The person's health status fluctuates continually, varying from being in good health to becoming ill and returning to being healthy. To understand the concept of illness prevention, there are two models. First, the health-illness continuum model is a graphic representation of an individual's wellness. It states that a person is considered healthy in the absence of physical disease and the presence of good emotional health.
The agent-host-environment model states that disease results...

Dimensions of Health and Illness01:21

Dimensions of Health and Illness

11.9K
The factors influencing the health-illness continuum can be internal or external and may or may not be under conscious control. They are related to the following eight human dimensions, and each dimension is interrelated to one other.

Models of Health Promotion and Illness Prevention I

3.0K
A model is a theoretical way to understand a concept or an idea. Models can overcome barriers to health regardless of diverse economic and cultural backgrounds. In addition, models make the task easier by providing different ways to approach complex issues. There are two major health promotion models: the health belief model and the health promotion model.
The health belief model (HBM) attempts to predict health-related behavior in specific belief patterns. According to the HBM, a person's...

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

This review maps Australian research on climate change and health interventions, finding most studies focus on adaptation and decarbonisation, with limited attention to mental health and stakeholder engagement. Further research is needed to build climate-resilient communities and health systems.

Area of Science:

  • Environmental Health
  • Public Health Policy
  • Climate Change Adaptation and Mitigation

Background:

  • Climate change poses significant risks to human health and healthcare systems.
  • Australia faces unique challenges from climate-related hazards like heatwaves, bushfires, floods, and droughts.
  • There is a need to understand the research landscape of health-related climate interventions in Australia.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To systematically review and thematically map published research on health-related climate change mitigation or adaptation interventions in Australia.
  • To identify key research themes, intervention types, and knowledge gaps.
  • To inform the development of climate-resilient health systems and communities.

Main Methods:

  • Systematic mapping of published peer-reviewed research studies and reviews.
  • Searches conducted in MEDLINE, Scopus, Google Scholar, and manual searches.
  • Inclusion of literature published from 1 January 2008 to 1 March 2024.

Main Results:

  • Eighty-three publications were included, categorized into four main themes: health system decarbonisation, health system adaptation, health co-benefits of mitigation, and adaptation outside the health system.
  • Adaptation interventions were more diverse in setting than decarbonisation interventions, which often focused on hospitals.
  • Research predominantly focused on physical health impacts of climate change, with less attention to psychosocial or mental health. Heat was the most studied climate hazard.
  • Limited evidence of stakeholder engagement and focus on First Nations peoples.

Conclusions:

  • Increased research on climate change and health interventions is crucial for achieving the goals of the National Health and Climate Strategy.
  • Evidence from local contexts, priority populations, interdisciplinary methods, and stakeholder engagement is needed to support effective climate action in Australia.
  • Translating research into practice is essential for building healthy, climate-resilient communities and a sustainable net-zero health system.
