 IPCC Group 2. Sixth Assessment report
Chapter 7: Health, Wellbeing, and the Changing Structure of Communities

● Climate-related illnesses, premature deaths, malnutrition in all its forms, and threats to mental health and wellbeing
are increasing (very high confidence). Climate hazards are a growing driver of involuntary migration and
displacement (high confidence) and are a contributing factor to violent conflict (high confidence)
● With proactive, timely, and effective adaptation, many risks for human health and wellbeing could be reduced and
some potentially avoided
● Climate resilient development has a strong potential to generate substantial co-benefits for health and wellbeing,
and to reduce risks of involuntary displacement and conflict
● Key transformations are needed to facilitate climate resilient development pathways for health, wellbeing, migration
and conflict avoidance.
● Targeted investments in health and other systems, including multi-sectoral, integrated approaches, to protect
against key health risks can effectively increase resilience
● Transitioning toward equitable, low-carbon societies has multiple benefits for health and wellbeing

Tracking emissions
and creating a

contributes to low

and resilient health
care systems
One integrated approach WHO Guidelines for resilient and sustainable health care facilities
How can your institution get involved?

● Health Care Climate Challenge

● Race to Zero campaign
● If your country joined the COP26 Health Programme, ask your government
how your institution can help and participate
How can you get involved?

● Think about what you as an individual

can change in your daily practice from
tomorrow onwards
● Talk with your peers
● Ask if your institution has a
sustainable, resilient and low carbon
action plan
● If your institution does not have a plan
yet, contribute so it can develop its
baseline. We can help : )
