WHO Targets Climate Change for World Health Day 2008 (2/2)
The scientists also predict that climate change will lead in Canada to an increase in outbreaks of diseases that can be carried in water and food. They note that flooding, heavy rains and warmer temperatures are linked to the spread of bacteria, viruses and other organisms. This is true even in the presence of water treatment systems, they say.
The report by scientists at the Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto was published in the Canadian Medical Association Journal.
World Health Day marks the establishment of the World Health Organization on April seventh, nineteen forty-eight. One goal this year is to call for local and international partnerships that will seek to improve health through efforts to stabilize climate change. The W.H.O. says it aims to put public health at the center of U.N. efforts on climate change.
A major message of this World Health Day is that the health of poor people will be hurt the most. The W.H.O. says different areas of the world will experience different problems from climate change. But it says countries with high levels of poverty and underdevelopment will be the least prepared to deal with them.

世界卫生日是为了纪念1948年4月7日成立的世界卫生组织。今年的一个目标是呼吁本地和国际的合作伙伴共同努力稳定气候变化，提高健康水平。世界卫生组织表示它的目的在于把公共卫生置于联合国气候变化问题议程的核心。
这次世界卫生日想要传到的主要信息就是穷人更容易受伤。世界卫生组织表示在不同的地区，气候变化带来的问题会有所差异。但是他们说，高度贫穷和不发达的国家为应对这个问题做的准备是最少的。
