Strengthening climate-resilient health systems: opportunities and challenges at policy and facility level – webinar

The climate crisis is a health crisis, threatening food, water, and air quality, worsening disease and extreme weather, and putting physical, mental, and social wellbeing at risk. Strengthening health system capacities to adapt to the implications of climate change is vital, as is action to reduce health sector contributions to climate change.

This webinar shared experience from OPM’s work with governments and partners to support climate-resilient health systems, with a view to exchanging ideas and supporting cross-country learning on challenges, policy options and research gaps.

Lessons from three complementary perspectives were presented: from multi-country cross-government research, from a single-country whole health system overview, and with respect to infrastructure and funding.
