Health Impacts of Climate Change Raise awareness on climate change's health impacts, educate the public, promote proactive measures, and advocate for supportive policies and actions. The post outlines climate change's direct and indirect health impacts, vulnerable populations, adaptation strategies, and calls for individual and community action. "Climate change isn't just an environmental issue—it's a health crisis. Discover how it affects us all and what we can do to protect our health and future.” You can find the link of article in the comment section. #ClimateHealth #PublicHealth #SustainableHealth #EcoHealth #ClimateJustice

💰Multilateral climate finance for health has been limited. 🚨According to the Lancet, almost no climate finance targets the health sector, and nearly no global health finance targets climate adaptation. 🏥Climate change's direct and indirect impacts on health and health systems will have short- and long-term health consequences and further strain limited resources. WHO predicts the direct costs of health impacts could reach US$ 4 billion annually by 2030. 🤔How can we forge a new deal for the climate health emergency? 💡Find out more ➡️bit.ly/4dpJRxC. #climatehealth #health #climatefinance

Climate change has profound implications on human health. While there has been progress and growing interest in the connection between climate change and health, we must close the climate and health action gap – now. Join Kaiser Permanente and the World Economic Forum as they host the next critical conversation in their Connecting Climate Change and Health panel series: Closing the Action Gap. Hear from top experts at the front line of climate emergencies, whose insights will guide concrete actions for health systems, communities, policymakers, and corporations alike. 🔗 Register here: https://lnkd.in/d2zjccsK #health #climatechange #ClimateWeekNYC

Climate Change and Public Health: Risks and Ways to Mitigate Them

Today is Earth Day and we are bringing awareness to the importance of tackling climate change. From water scarcity and contamination to reduction in crop yields, and heat-induced health effects – there is no question that climate change is a human health issue. We are doing our part to help reduce the environmental footprint of the healthcare industry and live our Purpose of advancing the world of health™: https://lnkd.in/e8NmFm8v. #EarthDay

An impactful #WHA wraps up with the adoption of this important resolution on climate change and health! The resolution accurately recognizes climate change as one of the major threats to global health, calling for a laser focus on climate-resilient and sustainable health systems. As the global health community figures out the best way to support countries to put this resolution into action, we must: - Assess the climate resilience and preparedness of health systems and develop locally led solutions for the delivery of services through environmental pressures and climate disasters. - Engage communities to manage climate change adaptation—from early warning systems to dissemination of critical information, and integrated climate, health, and livelihood activities. - Support the development of women and young people as the next generation of climate innovators. - Include health and gender priorities in climate policies that account for the needs of women and girls.

Day 3 of National Public Health Week is all about celebrating our commitment as an industry to addressing Climate Change. We live in a world where rising temperatures, extreme weather events, and environmental degradation threaten the very fabric of our communities. This is the reality facing millions around the globe, particularly those in undervalued communities who bear the brunt of these impacts. We recognize that climate change is not just an environmental issue – it's a public health crisis. From increased rates of heat-related illnesses to the spread of vector-borne diseases, the health consequences of climate change are profound and far-reaching. Amidst these challenges lies an opportunity for action. Now is the time for us to come together, and address the root causes of climate injustices. By working collaboratively with communities, we can implement solutions that not only mitigate the health impacts of climate change but also overcome challenges and sustainability. As we navigate the complexities of climate change, let's remember that every action we take today shapes the health outcomes of tomorrow. Together, let's be stewards of our planet and champions for the health and well-being of all.  #NPHW2024 #ClimateAction 

The climate crisis will touch all aspects of health care. Digital health can help with both carbon mitigation and climate change adaptation through health system resilience. Dr. Gabrielle Samuel presented a framework for the way forward ⬇ #GDHF2023 #climatechange #climateaction #digitalhealth
