Resumen

El cambio climático perjudica desproporcionadamente a los grupos minoritarios debido al racismo estructural. Abordar estas desigualdades es crucial para la salud mundial y lograr la justicia climática.

Área de la Ciencia:

Salud del medio ambiente
Salud pública
Determinantes sociales de la salud

Sus antecedentes:

El cambio climático presenta importantes desafíos para la salud mundial.
El discurso existente a menudo pasa por alto la discriminación estructural y la injusticia racial.
El racismo y el cambio climático se cruzan, exacerbando las disparidades de salud.

Objetivo del estudio:

Revisar la literatura sobre los impactos desiguales del cambio climático en la salud impulsados por el racismo y la discriminación.
Visualizar las disparidades en la responsabilidad del cambio climático y los riesgos para la salud.
Aclarar las vías que conectan el cambio climático, la discriminación y la salud.

Principales métodos:

Revisión de la literatura sobre el racismo, la discriminación y los impactos del cambio climático en la salud.
Visualización geográfica de la responsabilidad por el cambio climático y los riesgos proyectados para la salud.
Estudios de caso, testimonios y análisis de políticas.

Principales resultados:

Los grupos racialmente minoritarios, los migrantes y las comunidades indígenas soportan una carga desproporcionada de enfermedades y mortalidad relacionadas con el cambio climático.
El Sur Global enfrenta una carga desproporcionadamente alta de enfermedades y mortalidad por el cambio climático.
Las vías de interacción entre el cambio climático, la discriminación y la salud son complejas y multifacéticas.

Conclusiones:

Es necesario examinar con urgencia y corregir la discriminación estructural dentro de la comunidad sanitaria.
Lograr una acción climática rápida y equitativa requiere abordar la justicia racial.
La integración de los principios de justicia social es vital para las estrategias eficaces en materia de cambio climático y salud.

Dimensions of Health and Illness

Dimensions of Health and Illness

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.

What is Climate?

What is Climate?

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

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.

Radiation: Applications

Radiation: Applications

The average temperature of Earth is the subject of much current discussion. Earth is in radiative contact with both the Sun and dark space; it receives almost all its energy from the radiation of the Sun and reflects some of it into outer space. Dark space is very cold, about 3 K, so Earth radiates energy into it. For instance, heat transfer occurs from soil and grasses, the rate of which can be so rapid that frost can occur on clear summer evenings, even in warm latitudes.
The average...

Models of Health Promotion and Illness Prevention II

Models of Health Promotion and Illness Prevention II

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...

Gene-Environment Interactions

Gene-Environment Interactions

Gene expression is a dynamic process that is significantly influenced by environmental factors. This interaction underlies the complex nature of biological development and the phenotypic differences observed among individuals, even among those with identical genetic makeups. Factors such as radiation, temperature, behavior, nutrition, and stress play pivotal roles in determining how genes are expressed. The concept of the reaction range is central to understanding this interaction. It posits...
