Tools relevant for both health facilities and systems.
Tools designed for actions in health systems at district, regional or national level, or other types of health networks (e.g. private organisations).
Tools designed for actions at the individual facility/hospital/clinic level, including primary, secondary, tertiary and specialised health structures.
Produce baseline data and knowledge to understand current climate impacts, vulnerabilities, and emissions.
Set goals and targets, prioritize, plan and budget climate actions.
Identify and learn how to secure resources to support the climate transformation of health systems and/or services.
Carry out climate mitigation and adaptation actions in key priority areas of health systems and/or services.
Track progress and assess impact of actions on climate and health issues.
Community activities to promote population resilience and reduce demand for healthcare, oriented to local epidemiology and needs.
Adapt services to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions and cope with/remain functional during climate events.
Improve the sustainable, low-carbon and resilient aspect of clincal methods, procedures, and standards.
Detect, prepare for and respond effectively to climate-related emergencies.
Build workforce capacity for integration of climate adaptation and mitigation in their practices (e.g. sustainable healthcare).
Design or retrofit buildings for climate mitigation and adaptation.
Shift to renewable sources, increase energy efficiency (reduce their greenhouse gas emissions) and resilience.
Ensure safe water and hygiene during climate stresses.
Improve waste management to reduce environmental impact (including carbon) and increase resilience.
Safely manage chemicals and other harmful substances, choose the less polluting alternatives.
Reduce the greenhouse gas emissions of supply chains and ensure appropriate supply to cope with climate events.
Use low-carbon and resilient technologies.
Promote climate-smart and healthy food procurement, delivery and nutrition.
Gather and analyse initial data on systems, emissions, capacities, vulnerabilities and climate risks.
Measure direct and indirect greenhouse gas emissions from health operations.
Identify how climate hazards translate into risks to health systems, facilities and populations, and how vulnerabilities and capacities modify these risks.
Estimate the costs of interventions and analyze economic impact of climate action or inaction.
Track changes and progress, assess impact and adjust strategies.
Build institutional commitment and coordination mechanisms for climate action.
Estimate the need funds, secure and allocate budgets for resilient, low-carbon health systems and services.
