Climate crisis mitigation is essential to the health systems response to climate crisis. This webinar explored the role health systems researchers, policymakers and health care workers can play in promoting a fast, just, and funded phase out of fossil fuels, a key and under-addressed commercial determinant of health inequities.
As with much of the action on the social and commercial determinants of health, health systems action on climate crisis has tended to focus on how to ameliorate harms and adapt to risks, rather than how to prevent and stop actual harm.
This webinar discussed new research and identified strategies for health systems actors to be protagonists in addressing the climate crisis, and discuss opportunities for coalition building, including the perceived barriers and commitments to action. The objectives of the webinar are the following:
- To become familiar with key trends in climate crisis mitigation.
- To learn about specific efforts where health systems actors in diverse roles became involved in climate action and a just transition.
- For participants to integrate those examples into their own context and consider how they can engage in climate action, knowledge generation and learning.
