项目摘要

SUMMARY– OVERALL The central theme of the Drexel Climate Change and Urban Health Research Center (CCUH) is the creation and dissemination/translation of evidence that will support urban policies to address the health and equity impacts of climate change in cities. Urban areas are key contributors to climate change and are home to large inequities, but also present many opportunities for action. Urbanization is occurring more rapidly in lower-and middle-income countries, and climate change is spurring migration across countries. Research on the health impacts of climate change must span urban communities across countries, yet little work has focused on intra- urban inequities or conducted comparative analyses of these inequities across heterogeneous cities. Based on our established, productive collaboration across 13 institutions in the US and Latin America, we aim to build institutional capacity at Drexel and at three partner sites included in this formative Center (University of California Berkeley, University of São Paulo in Brazil, and INCAP in Guatemala) to support action-oriented research on the impacts of climate change on population health and health inequities in diverse cities across the Americas. Specifically, we will leverage existing strengths at Drexel in urban health and health equity, our research network on urban health in Latin America (the Salud Urbana en America Latina or SALURBAL study) and our work with US partners including US Big Cities Health Coalition. This robust, existing infrastructure will enable us to expand our urban health and health equity work to encompass the generation of solutions- oriented evidence on the impacts of climate change on health in cities and translate that evidence into actions in partnership with communities and policymakers. Our aims are: (1) to create an organizational structure that promotes collaborative and inclusive transdisciplinary and policy-relevant research on climate change and health across cities of the Americas (Administrative Core); (2) to support capacity-strengthening for research on climate change health impacts in urban settings through structured training activities, funding pilot grants and research methods translation and support (Research Capacity Building Core); (2) to demonstrate the informativeness and policy-relevance of multi-country research on climate change and health equity through a research project on intra-urban inequities engaging researchers from the US and Latin America (Research Project); and (4) to increase capacity for policy translation and policy impact through the engagement of policy makers and impacted urban communities in order to inform future research questions, as well as dissemination and translation efforts to maximize impact (Community Engagement Core.) Through these aims we will support the creation of the infrastructure, research and engagement capacity, and partnerships needed to expand policy relevant research on the impacts of climate change on health and health equity in urban areas. Our ultimate goal is to become a center of excellence on climate change and urban health with a strong equity focus, global reach and meaningful engagement of policy makers and communities to maximize policy impact.

摘要 – 总体德雷克塞尔气候变化与城市健康研究中心（CCUH）的中心主题是创造传播/翻译支持解决健康和公平问题的城市政策的证据气候变化对城市的影响城市地区是气候变化的关键因素，也是大型城市的所在地。不平等，但也提供了许多采取行动的机会。中等收入国家，气候变化正在刺激各国的健康研究。气候变化的影响必须遍及各国城市社区，但很少有工作关注城市内部城市不平等或基于异质城市对这些不平等进行比较分析。我们与美国和拉丁美洲的 13 个机构建立了富有成效的合作关系，我们的目标是建立德雷克塞尔大学和该形成中心包括的三个合作伙伴地点的机构能力加州伯克利大学、巴西圣保罗大学和危地马拉 INCAP）支持以行动为导向研究气候变化对不同城市人口健康和健康不平等的影响具体来说，我们将利用德雷塞尔在城市健康和健康公平方面的现有优势，这是我们的目标。拉丁美洲城市健康研究网络（Salud Urbana en America Latina 或 SALURBAL 研究）我们与包括美国大城市健康联盟在内的美国合作伙伴的合作将推动这一强大的现有基础设施的发展。使我们能够扩大城市健康和卫生工作的公平性，以涵盖解决方案的产生- 关于气候变化对城市健康影响的证据，并将这些证据转化为行动我们与社区和政策制定者合作的目标是：(1) 创建一个组织结构：促进气候变化和政策相关的协作性和包容性跨学科和政策相关研究美洲各城市的健康（行政核心）；(2) 支持加强研究能力通过结构化培训活动、资助试点赠款，了解气候变化对城市环境的健康影响研究方法转化和支持（研究能力建设核心）；（2）展示通过气候变化和健康多国研究的信息性和政策公平相关性来自美国和拉丁美洲的研究人员参与的关于城市内不平等的研究项目（研究项目）；（4）通过政策参与提高政策转化和政策影响的能力创造者和影响城市社区，以便为未来的研究问题和传播提供信息和翻译工作以最大限度地发挥影响力（社区参与核心）。通过这些目标，我们将支持建立扩大所需的基础设施、研究和参与能力以及伙伴关系关于气候变化对城市地区健康和健康公平的影响的政策相关研究。最终目标是成为气候变化和城市健康方面具有强大公平性的卓越中心政策制定者和社区的重点、全球影响力和有意义的参与，以最大限度地发挥政策影响。
