摘要

全球氣候變遷與人類健康兩者間的關係是多樣、複雜且重要的，極端的天氣更會影響人的健康、安全及存活。許多呼吸道疾病、心血管疾病、腎臟疾病、消化道疾病、神經疾病、精神疾病、傳染性疾病、熱相關疾病、意外災害及癌症等都與天氣變化息息相關。藉由努力了解氣候變化對於健康的影響，建立預警系統隨時掌握當地最新的氣象動態，以及提升醫療體系對於緊急情況的快速反應，可以減少或避免人體健康遭受天氣所帶來的威脅。

The impact of global climate change on human health is diverse and significant, including respiratory diseases, cardiovascular diseases, kidney diseases, gastrointestinal diseases, neurological diseases, mental health, infectious diseases, heat-related illness, accidents and even cancer. The greenhouse effect is processing and there are upward trends in global temperature. Extreme weather events also become more frequent and severe. Climate change and variability is higher in Taiwan due to complex topography. By understanding how climate change can result in associated threats to health, we can minimize or avoid adverse health impacts.
