Our objective is to ensure health systems are resilient to climate impacts and are actively supporting community climate resilience as anchor institutions.

Si el sector de la salud fuese un país, sería el quinto emisor más grande del planeta. Eso indica el nuevo reporte Huella climática del sector de la salud. Cómo contribuye el sector de la salud a la crisis climática global: oportunidades para la acción, de Salud sin Daño, en colaboración con Arup.

Primera edición: realizada entre el 12 de noviembre y el 3 de diciembre de 2019. Segunda edición: del 3 al 21 de octubre de 2022.

Health care’s climate footprint is a report developed by Health Care Without Harm in collaboration with Arup. It provides the most comprehensive global analysis of health care’s contribution to climate change to date.

Every year, HCWH Europe gathers sustainable healthcare leaders from across Europe (and beyond) for its annual European Healthcare Climate Summit.

En el presente documento, Salud sin Daño identifica algunos elementos necesarios para incorporar una perspectiva integral de salud en las Contribuciones Determinadas a nivel Nacional (NDC por sus siglas en inglés) que los países presentan como compromisos de acción climática ante el Acuerdo de París.

¿Qué es el cambio climático? ¿Qué son los GEI, el PCG, el IPCC, el CMNUCC, la COP o los NDC? Salud sin Daño presenta una serie de definiciones para entender de qué hablamos cuando hablamos de cambio climático.

The Health Care Climate Challenge is building a global coalition of healthcare institutions at the forefront of this transformation. The Climate Challenge has over 300 institutional participants, representing the interests of more than 22,000 hospitals and health centres in 37 countries.An initiative of Health Care Without Harm, the Health Care Climate Challenge engages and equips healthcare institutions – from small clinics to large health systems to ministries of health – to commit to effective climate action while building collective impact across countries...

Contact: Mireia Figueras AlsiusThe LIFE RESYSTAL project will address gaps in the European health systems’ climate resilience. This project will support improved climate vulnerability assessment of health systems as well as an improved understanding of the interdependencies between different infrastructures, e.g. transport, energy networks, telecommunications, and clinical services, to ensure a more secure and resilient health service provision. The project will also support investment decisions that consider and encourage climate change adaptation.BackgroundClimate change strikes at the very core of the healthcare sector’s mission to keep people healthy. Individual hospitals and entire healthcare systems are affected operationally, financially, and structurally by the rising frequency of extreme weather events. Even distant climate events can affect the health of local communities, e.g. smoke from wildfires can create significant and concentrated air pollution causing wide-reaching health impacts.Our health is intrinsically linked to...
