WHO launches global research priorities on climate, health and migration
世卫组织启动关于气候、健康和移民的全球研究重点
WHO Health and Migration, in collaboration with WHO Climate Change, Energy and Air Quality, launched the Global research prioritization and action plan on health, migration and displacement in the context of climate change during a virtual webinar on 22 July 2026, bringing together more than 300 participants from over 75 countries to advance evidence and action on one of the most pressing and under-researched global health challenges of our time.
世界卫生组织健康与移民部门与世卫组织气候变化、能源和空气质量部门合作，于2026年7月22日在一场线上研讨会上启动了《气候变化背景下的健康、移民和流离失所问题全球研究优先事项和行动计划》。此次会议汇聚了来自超过75个国家的300多名参与者，旨在推进应对我们这个时代最紧迫且研究不足的全球卫生挑战之一的证据与行动。
Despite growing recognition of the climate–migration–health nexus, significant evidence gaps remain regarding how mobility in the context of climate change affects health, well-being and access to care. Climate change is increasingly recognized as contributing to the drivers of migration and displacement, disproportionately affecting populations already facing vulnerabilities and limited adaptive capacity, while influencing health risks and access to services throughout the migration journey.
尽管人们日益认识到气候—移民—健康之间的关联，但在气候变化背景下的流动如何影响健康、福祉和获得护理方面，仍存在显著证据缺口。气候变化正日益被视为移民和流离失所问题的驱动因素之一，对已经面临脆弱性和适应能力有限的人群造成了不成比例的影响，同时在整个移民过程中影响着健康风险和获得服务的机会。
“Closing research gaps is a matter of equity. To achieve universal health coverage, strengthen climate resilience and advance health equity, migrant and displaced populations must not be an afterthought, they must be part of the solution from the beginning,” said Dr Santino Severoni, head of WHO Health and Migration.
“缩小研究差距是一个公平问题。为了实现全民健康覆盖、增强气候韧性并促进健康公平，移民和流离失所人群绝不能是事后才考虑的对象，他们必须从一开始就参与解决方案，”世卫组织健康与移民部门负责人桑蒂诺·塞韦罗尼（Santino Severoni）博士表示。
The Global Research Prioritization Exercise (GRPE), the first thematic deep dive under WHO’s Global research agenda on health, migration and displacement, was developed to address these challenges and support WHO’s commitment to generating robust, policy-relevant evidence for equitable and migration-inclusive health systems. The exercise followed a structured, participatory approach, including a scoping review, stakeholder mapping, technical consultations and an online prioritization survey, engaging 59 experts from academia, policy and practice across disciplines, sectors and regions.
全球研究优先排序演练（GRPE）是世卫组织健康、移民和流离失所全球研究议程下的首个专题深度研究，旨在应对这些挑战，并支持世卫组织致力于为公平且包容移民的卫生系统生成稳健、与政策相关的证据。该演练采用了结构化、参与式的方法，包括范围审查、利益攸关方梳理、技术磋商和在线优先排序调查，汇聚了来自不同学科、部门和地区的学术界、政策界和实践领域的59名专家。
The GRPE identified priority research areas across three core themes – social determinants of health, universal health coverage and emergencies – alongside two cross-cutting areas: health outcomes and data, policy and interventions. It also produced a global action roadmap to guide future research, policy and practice. Key priorities identified include addressing social inequities and vulnerabilities, strengthening access to health systems and services, improving preparedness and resilience to climate-related emergencies, enhancing migration-sensitive data systems, and generating evidence on mental health, maternal and child health, chronic diseases, and the long-term impacts of climate-related mobility.
GRPE确定了三个核心主题下的优先研究领域——健康的社会决定因素、全民健康覆盖和突发事件——以及两个跨领域议题：健康结果与数据、政策与干预措施。它还制定了一份全球行动路线图，以指导未来的研究、政策和实践。确定的重点优先事项包括：解决社会不平等和脆弱性问题，加强获得卫生系统和服务的机会，提高对气候相关突发事件的防备和韧性，加强对移民问题敏感的数据系统，以及生成关于心理健康、孕产妇和儿童健康、慢性病以及气候相关流动长期影响的证据。
“Climate change is already affecting the health and mobility of populations around the world. Strengthening the evidence base is essential to inform effective policies and ensure that those most affected are protected through climate-resilient and equitable health systems,” said Dr Diarmid Campbell-Lendrum, Head of WHO Climate Change, Energy and Air Quality.
“气候变化已经在影响世界各地人口的健康和流动性。加强证据基础对于制定有效政策，并确保那些受影响最严重的人群能够通过具有气候适应能力和公平的卫生系统得到保护至关重要，”世卫组织气候变化、能源和空气质量部门负责人迪亚米德·坎贝尔-伦德拉姆（Diarmid Campbell-Lendrum）博士说。
The launch reinforced a shared commitment to strengthen interdisciplinary collaboration and ensure that research informs policy and practice. Discussions highlighted the need to break down silos across climate, health and migration sectors, strengthen migration-sensitive data systems, promote participatory and community-centred research, and translate evidence into practical policies and interventions that respond to the realities of affected populations. Participants also underscored the importance of sustained partnerships and stronger links between research, policy and implementation.
此次启动加强了对加强跨学科合作并确保研究为政策和实践提供信息的共同承诺。讨论强调需要打破气候、卫生和移民部门之间的壁垒，加强对移民问题敏感的数据系统，促进参与式和以社区为中心的研究，并将证据转化为应对受影响人群现实情况的实用政策和干预措施。与会者还强调了持续伙伴关系以及研究、政策和实施之间更紧密联系的重要性。
Through the GRPE, WHO reaffirmed its commitment to supporting Member States and partners in translating research priorities into action. By embedding the roadmap within regional and national agendas, fostering partnerships, strengthening capacity and advancing policy-relevant research, WHO aims to ensure that evidence informs decision-making and contributes to more resilient, migrant-inclusive health systems. The GRPE provides a foundation for turning knowledge into measurable impact and advancing health equity for migrant and displaced populations in a changing climate.
通过GRPE（全球研究优先排序演练），世卫组织重申了其支持会员国和合作伙伴将研究优先事项转化为行动的承诺。通过将路线图纳入区域和国家议程、促进伙伴关系、加强能力以及推进与政策相关的研究，世卫组织旨在确保证据为决策提供信息，并助力建设更具韧性、包容移民的卫生系统。GRPE为将知识转化为可衡量的影响，并在不断变化的气候中促进移民和流离失所人群的健康公平奠定了基础。
