Overview

This doc presents the World Health Organization Operational framework for constructing local weather resilient and low carbon well being techniques. The framework’s objective is to extend the local weather resilience of well being techniques to guard and enhance the well being of communities in an unstable and altering local weather, whereas optimizing using sources and implementing methods to scale back GHG emissions. It goals to contribute to the design of transformative well being techniques that may present protected and high quality care in a altering local weather. 

Implementation of the framework’s ten parts would assist well being organizations, authorities, and programmes to be higher capable of anticipate, stop, put together for, and handle climate-related well being dangers and subsequently lower the burden of related climate-sensitive well being outcomes. Implementing low carbon well being practices would contribute to local weather change mitigation whereas additionally enhancing well being outcomes. Achieving these goals is a crucial contribution to common well being protection (UHC), world well being safety, and particular targets inside the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The doc is a helpful useful resource for decision-makers in well being techniques, together with public well being companies, and different specialised establishments, and for decision-makers in health-determining sectors.
