参考消息网4月21日报道 “Children are more vulnerable than adults to the effects of climate change, and excess heat is a potentially lethal threat to them.”
“儿童比成年人更容易受到气候变化的影响,过热对他们来说是有可能致命的威胁。”(彭博新闻社网站)
——联合国儿童基金会东亚和太平洋地区办公室主任德博拉·科米尼呼吁该地区居民在今夏(预计将迎来创纪录高温)保持高度警惕,以便在热浪和其他气候灾难来袭时保护儿童和弱势人群。该基金会称,与成年人相比,儿童调节自身体温的能力更差,因而更容易罹患与高温有关的疾病,比如慢性呼吸道疾病、哮喘和心血管疾病。(编译/耿凌楠)
