研究顯示乙型肝炎和丙型肝炎帶來的癌症風險明顯高於每日吸一包煙,世界肝炎聯盟在世界肝炎日提高公眾對病毒性肝炎的認識

倫敦2023年7月28日 /美通社/ -- 今日世界肝炎日 (WHD) 發起了「我們不再等待」(We're not waiting) 的行動號召。在 WHD,世界肝炎聯盟 (World Hepatitis Alliance,WHA) 與其由遍佈超過 100 個國家的 323 個成員組成的全球網絡攜手在國際帶領該次活動,以促進對抗病毒性肝炎的行動,病毒性肝炎是最致命和被忽視的疾病及健康危機之一,每 30 秒就造成一人喪生。 Center for Disease Analysis (CDA) 基金會1 在 EASL 大會上發表的新研究顯示,乙型肝炎 (HBV) 和丙型肝炎 (HCV) 病毒具有高度致癌性,會導致多個器官和部位的癌症。報告發現,乙型肝炎和丙型肝炎感染者「患癌風險與每日吸一包煙的人相約或明顯較高」。該報告總結 HBV 和 HCV 應該「被視為致癌感染,並因此重新審議國際指南」。 WHA 一項近期研究2 發現,全球有近一半 (42%) 人不知道病毒性肝炎是肝癌的主要原因之一。接近四分之三 (74%) 的受訪者表示,了解肝炎會導致肝癌,代表他們會更傾向於接受檢測;亦有超過五分之四 (82%) 的受訪者表示,他們會更傾向於接種疫苗。 全球有超過 3.5 億人患有乙型肝炎和丙型肝炎3,每年造成超過 110 萬人喪生4。到 2040 年,預計病毒性肝炎的死亡人數將超過 HIV、瘧疾和結核病的死亡人數總和5。 世界肝炎聯盟主席 Danjuma Adda 表示: 「每年有超過一百萬人死於肝炎。2023 年世界肝炎日的主題是『我們不再等待』。這是對加快消除病毒性肝炎的行動,以及迫切需要為真正需要的人提供檢測和治療之呼籲。全球的個人和社區正在改變自己的生命及其身邊世界。我們向他們表示敬意,同時要求作出更多行動。我們會不再等待改變,我們正為實現它而奮鬥。」 CDA 基金會董事總經理 Homie Razavi 表示: 「乙型肝炎和丙型肝炎是無聲無息的流行病。這些病毒感染會引致癌症,但由於感染者在出現症狀之前往往沒有明顯的症狀,大多數感染都被人忽視。我們所有人都需要認識乙型肝炎和丙型肝炎感染所帶來的高患癌風險,並將患者與護理聯繫。治療可以將患癌風險降低 85% 或以上。」 有關完整參考資料的列表,請瀏覽:https://www.worldhepatitisalliance.org/news/hepatitis-b-and-c-cause-significantly-higher-cancer-risk-than-smoking-a-daily-pack-of-cigarettes/ 媒體聯絡:Tajinder Tiwana,+44(0)7715339193,contact@worldhepatitisalliance.org

COP28 UAE and UNFCCC urge G20 nations to show leadership on climate change mitigation and adaptation

CHENNAI, India, July 28, 2023 /PRNewswire/ --  With only 125 days to go, COP28 President-Designate Dr. Sultan Al Jaber and UNFCCC Executive Secretary Simon Stiell issue joint statement on sidelines of G20 ministerial meeting in Chennai. "The science demands a strong mitigation outcome at COP28 that drives a significant reduction in emissions and builds on the progress of previous COPs," the leaders said in statement. While the discussions at the G20 Energy Ministerial considered energy transition and aligning current pathways with the Paris Goals, the outcome did not provide a sufficiently clear signal for transforming global energy systems, scaling up renewable and clean energy sources and responsibly phasing down fossil fuels. The G20 must affirm its commitment to achieve the operationalization of the fund and funding arrangements for loss and damage. Those at the frontline of climate change need our support now, not in 5 years' time. The G20 must show that it can deliver for the most climate vulnerable, including the least developed countries and small island developing states. The leaders also urged G20 nations to raise the importance of defining a Global Goal on Adaptation (GGA) and operationalizing the loss and damage fund and funding arrangements "to an equal level." G20 nations called on "to urgently prioritize revised commitments, whether NDCs, NAPs or on climate finance, including contributions to the ambitious replenishment of the GCF to align with the Paris Goals." COP28 President Designate Dr Sultan Ahmed Al Jaber and Simon Stiell, Executive Secretary United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) on the sidelines of the G20 ministerial meeting in Chennai Dr. Sultan Al-Jaber, COP28 President-Designate and Simon Stiell, Executive Secretary of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), have called upon G20 nations to take a greater leadership role in climate change mitigation and adaptation. With only 125 days to go, the leaders today issued a joint statement on the sidelines of the G20 ministerial meeting in Chennai, calling on G20 nations to "lead the way" on delivering a positive outcome on mitigation at the COP28 climate conference this year. "The science demands a strong mitigation outcome at COP28 that drives a significant reduction in emissions and builds on the progress of previous COPs, and we call on the G20 to lead the way on the basis of both science and equity and lay the path to a strong and credible outcome that provides developing countries with the basis to undertake a just transition," the leaders said in the statement. "Together, we must take necessary steps to accelerate the inevitable phase-down of all fossil fuels in a responsible manner, in order to have an energy system free of unabated fossil fuels by the middle of this century while enabling access for all and promoting sustainable development," they said in the statement, which reiterated the importance of tripling global renewable energy capacity and doubling the rate of energy efficiency improvements across sectors by 2030. While the discussions at the G20 Energy Ministerial considered energy transition and aligning current pathways with the Paris Goals, the outcome did not provide a sufficiently clear signal for transforming global energy systems, scaling up renewable and clean energy sources and responsibly phasing down fossil fuels. "It is our hope that any progress achieved by the G20 drives decisively a strong outcome at COP28 under the Global Stocktake and capitalizes on the Just Transition Work Programme established at COP27 to ensure that this transition is fair, leaves no one behind and supports the broad development challenges faced by developing countries in launching this transition," the statement added. The leaders also urged G20 nations to raise the importance of defining a Global Goal on Adaptation (GGA) and operationalizing the loss and damage fund and funding arrangements "to an equal level, to ensure that the human face of the climate change is at the center of all our decisions." Adaptation finance must be doubled urgently, the leaders said. "The G20 must affirm its commitment to achieve the operationalization of the fund and funding arrangements. Those at the frontline of climate change need our support now, not in 5 years' time. This is the benchmark for ambition," they said in the statement. They also called on the G20 to show that it can deliver for the most climate vulnerable, including the least developed countries and small island developing states. Delivering on the 2030 agenda will depend on making climate finance more available, affordable and accessible to developing countries, the leaders state. "Climate finance arrangements will need to be transformed to deliver at the necessary scale, to work better as a system and to support private finance mobilization at unprecedented levels." The leaders also called on G20 nations "to urgently prioritize your revised commitments, whether NDCs, NAPs or on climate finance, including contributions to the ambitious replenishment of the GCF to align with the Paris Goals." "We must leave Chennai on the right path and with a clear signal that the political will to tackle the climate crisis and launch a new era of development is within our grasp, because it is only a short path to COP28. Every meeting counts, every outcome must bring us closer. The world needs its leaders to unite, act and deliver; and that must start with the G20," the statement concludes. For all media enquiries and requests for interviews, please contact comms@cop28.com For up-to-date COP28 news, follow us on Twitter @COP28_UAE Notes to Editors: COP28 UAE: COP28 UAE will take place at Expo City Dubai from November 30-December 12, 2023. The Conference is expected to convene over 70,000 participants, including heads of state, government officials, international industry leaders, private sector   representatives, academics, experts, youth, and non-state actors.   As mandated by the Paris Climate Agreement, COP28 UAE will deliver the first ever Global Stocktake – a comprehensive evaluation of progress against climate goals.   The UAE will lead a process for all parties to agree upon a clear roadmap to accelerate progress through a pragmatic global energy transition and a "leave no one behind" approach to inclusive climate action.
