Resumen

La cuenta regresiva de Lancet rastrea los impactos en la salud del cambio climático, centrándose en la adaptación, los beneficios secundarios de la mitigación y la economía. Esta iniciativa tiene como objetivo proporcionar informes anuales de indicadores sobre el progreso de la salud mundial y el cambio climático.

Área de la Ciencia:

Salud global
Ciencia del cambio climático
Salud del medio ambiente

Sus antecedentes:

La Comisión Lancet de 2015 identificó la respuesta al cambio climático como una importante oportunidad de salud global del siglo XXI.
El Lancet Countdown se basa en esto mediante el establecimiento de una colaboración de investigación multidisciplinaria.
En ella participan instituciones académicas y profesionales de todo el mundo.

Objetivo del estudio:

Establecer un marco para el seguimiento de los impactos del cambio climático en la salud.
Monitorear el progreso en la resiliencia de la salud, la adaptación y los beneficios colaterales de la mitigación.
Proporcionar informes anuales de indicadores sobre la salud mundial y el cambio climático.

Principales métodos:

La colaboración se estructura en torno a cinco grupos de trabajo temáticos: impactos en la salud, resiliencia, beneficios colaterales, economía y compromiso.
Propone indicadores potenciales y dominios de indicadores para el seguimiento.
Se están identificando y perfeccionando metodologías y conjuntos de datos a través de un proceso de consulta en curso.

Principales resultados:

El documento describe los ámbitos e indicadores propuestos para el seguimiento de la salud y el cambio climático.
En él se hace hincapié en la necesidad de un mayor perfeccionamiento y consulta de las partes interesadas.
La iniciativa tiene por objeto complementar los procesos de seguimiento existentes, como los Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible de las Naciones Unidas.

Conclusiones:

The Lancet Countdown informará anualmente sobre los indicadores clave relacionados con la salud y el cambio climático.
El marco de indicadores evolucionará en función de las nuevas pruebas y de las aportaciones de las partes interesadas.
Esta colaboración busca fomentar el compromiso y desarrollar nuevas investigaciones en el campo.

Global Climate Change

Global Climate Change

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.
