Each and every institution, regardless of its size or location, can play a crucial role in addressing climate change by building resilience at the facility, system, and community level while helping to prevent the problem by reducing the health sector's footprint.

To accomplish this, Just Transition needs to be examined from a service systems perspective – one that emphasizes health care and wellbeing.
