Health-focused Climate Adaptation: Innovating and Scaling Global Action for Local Impact
Health-focused Climate Adaptation: Innovating and Scaling Global Action for Local Impact.
Solutions for adapting healthcare to meet the threats posed by climate change remain immature. Enabling innovation and scaling solutions is a critical priority to protect vulnerable populations around the world, especially in Africa. This fireside will explore three areas of opportunity for innovation and the scaling of solutions that specifically target climate-related health challenges: 1) medical products and technologies that seek to reduce the burden of climate change on health; 2) health-related climate surveillance, early-warning, and response systems; and 3) climate-resilient healthcare infrastructure, supply chain, and workforce capabilities.
