摘要
许多健康倡导活动是由单一议题行动主义驱动的。拥有共同利益的社群——从艾滋病到儿童健康,从气候到烟草控制——都密切关注自身领域。这可以理解。通过往往是大胆的直接行动,已经取得了重要进展。但根据一个新的“柳叶刀21世纪全球健康威胁委员会”的说法,这种激烈竞争的做法存在危险的缺陷。事实上,该委员会最重要的贡献或许在于将全球健康议题推进到超越对单一危害的考量。

[Editorial] Rethinking threats to human survival
Much health advocacy is driven by single-issue activism. Communities with a common interest—from AIDS to child health, climate to tobacco control—focus intensely on their own domain. And understandably so. Important progress has been made through often courageous direct action. But this sharply competitive approach is, according to a new Lancet Commission on 21st Century Global Threats to Health, dangerously flawed. Indeed, perhaps the most important contribution of this Commission is to move global health beyond the consideration of individual harms.
