Cambio climático, salud humana y enfermedades emergentes

Cambio climático, salud humana y enfermedades emergentes

Abstract

RESUMEN: Hay un consenso generalizado en el mundo científico de que la tierra se está calentando, y cada vez es más evidente que el cambio climático se atribuye a actividades humanas. El sistema climático mundial es parte integrante de los complejos procesos que mantienen la vida. Por lo tanto, con este cambio se están generando impactos sobre el clima que a su vez repercuten en los sistemas ecológicos, físicos y socioeconómicos de la biosfera. El tiempo y el clima siempre han repercutido sobre la salud y el bienestar humano, pero el sistema climático se está viendo seriamente afectado por la actividad humana, generando impactos y nuevos patrones de respuesta que pueden causar una amenaza para la salud. El cambio climático global representa un nuevo reto para las actuales iniciativas encaminadas aproteger la salud humana. En este trabajo se presenta el estudio del Cambio climático, salud humana y enfermedades emergentes desde un punto de vista geográfico. La Geografía es la ciencia que tiene como objeto de estudio del espacio geográfico, el cual es producto de la compleja relación entre la sociedad y la naturaleza. Esta ciencia estudia esta relación con la finalidad de organizar el espacio y contribuir a la planificación y ordenación del territorio. Es importante el enfoque geográfico para entender el cambio climático ya que la geografía profundiza en cómo el hombre se integra en el sistema natural de la tierra y en los ecosistemas, consecuentemente modificándolos. Cuando estas modificaciones superan la resiliencia del medio natural, se crean problemas ambientales, como el presente cambio climático, que afectan directa e indirectamente a la salud de la sociedad.

ABSTRACT: There is a general consensus in the scientific world which asserts that the earth is warming, and it is increasingly evident that climate change is attributed to human activities. The global climate system is an integral part of the complex processes that sustain life. Therefore, new impacts on climate are being created which in turn have an effect on the ecological, physical and socio economic systems of the biosphere. Weather and climate have always affected on health and human welfare. But the climate system is being seriously affected by human activity, creating new impacts and response patterns that may cause a health hazard. Global climate change poses a new challenge for current initiatives which are designed to protect human health. In this project, the study of climate change, human health and emerging diseases is presented from a geographical point of view. Geography is the science that aims to study the geographical space, which is the product of the complex relationship between society and nature. This science studies this relationship in order to organize the space and contribute to the spatial planning. The geographic focus is important for understanding climate change because geography explores how society is integrated into the natural system and ecosystems of the earth. When these modifications exceed the resilience of the natural environment, environmental problems are created such as this climate change, which directly and indirectly affect human health.
