Cambio climático, riesgos ambientales y desafíos para los programas de salud pública: un enfoque de bioética global

The frequency and intensity of extreme weather-related phenomena will be accelerated by the impact of human action on Earth’s systems. The resulting risk scenarios remain largely underestimated, despite of the complex interdisciplinary challenges for public health programs they pose. From a Global Bioethics perspective, I analyze this set of risks and the concretions of the principle of non-maleficence applied to vulnerable populations, whose livelihoods can be more directly affected by a catastrophic combination of emerging diseases and natural-technological factors.La versión preliminar (2017-v.1) de este trabajo se presentó en el I Congreso Internacional de Bioética: Vulnerabilidad, Justicia y Salud Global / I INTERNATIONAL CONGRESS OF BIOETHICS: VULNERABILITY, JUSTICE AND GLOBAL HEALTH (Mesa 4).
