Core Viewpoint - Climate change is rapidly reshaping disease patterns in the Western Pacific region, exacerbating the spread of vector-borne diseases and worsening non-communicable diseases due to high temperatures and air pollution [1][2]. Group 1: Climate Change and Health Risks - The WHO estimates that climate change will lead to an additional 250,000 deaths globally each year between 2030 and 2050 [1]. - The Western Pacific region, despite its minimal contribution to global emissions, faces significant public health risks due to urbanization, aging populations, and frequent extreme weather events [1][2]. - The spread of the chikungunya virus has been reported in 119 countries, with approximately 5.5 million people at risk of infection [1][2]. Group 2: Vector-Borne Diseases - The rise in chikungunya cases in non-tropical regions is attributed to climate change, environmental factors, urbanization, and population movement [2]. - Other vector-borne diseases of concern include dengue fever and malaria, which have previously seen little outbreak activity in non-tropical countries [2]. - Existing vaccines for these diseases are unevenly supplied and often lack sufficient protective efficacy, with the chikungunya vaccines currently unavailable in China [2][3]. Group 3: Monitoring and Response Systems - There is a need to improve multi-sectoral monitoring networks and early warning systems for zoonotic diseases [3]. - Reliable data from various sources is crucial for accurate disease prediction and public health response [3]. - The integration of AI and other technologies presents opportunities for enhancing climate and health monitoring systems [3]. Group 4: China's Progress and Global Implications - China has made strides in disease monitoring, including the upcoming implementation of a new Infectious Disease Prevention Law [4]. - The country has developed extreme weather warning systems and invested in green health infrastructure, providing a model for other nations [4]. - The WHO emphasizes the need for governments to prioritize health issues in climate financing, as health-related interventions currently receive less than 1% of climate funding [5][6]. Group 5: Future Directions - Future climate financing should focus on four health areas: strengthening primary health care in severely affected regions, developing integrated health and climate data monitoring systems, enhancing health workforce capacity, and accelerating clean energy transitions [6].

据世卫估计，在2030年至2050年期间，气候变化将导致全球每年额外增加25万人死亡。 "气候变化正在迅速重塑西太平洋区域的疾病模式，加剧了病媒传播疾病的扩散，同时，高温和空气污 染也让非传染性疾病形势更加严峻。" 人工智能等科技革命为气候与健康相关监测体系完善提供机遇。皮乌卡拉说，鉴于数据大多已数字化， 人们拥有独特的机会将数据与人工智能（AI）等令人兴奋的新技术相结合，以实现海量数据的高效处 理，实现更强大的预测建模，并可以利用地理信息系统（GIS）等强大的数据可视化平台，在正确的时 间作出正确的决策。 他表示，据世卫估计，在2030年至2050年期间，气候变化将导致全球每年额外增加25万人死亡。尽管西 太平洋区域的国家在全球排放中的占比微乎其微，却由于高度城市化、人口老龄化和极端天气事件频发 等原因，该区域公共卫生体系显得尤为脆弱。气候变化正在给包括中国在内的西太平洋区域国家带来广 泛的卫生风险。 同日，世卫发布的最新数据显示，20年前席卷全球的蚊媒病毒——基孔肯雅热病毒正在全球多地扩散， 已有119个国家报告病例，约550万人面临感染风险。该病毒感染的主要症状包括高热、剧烈关节疼痛和 长期疲乏，约40 ...
