Resilience is the ability to prepare for, respond to, and recover after a disaster. Healthcare systems have a powerful role to play in protecting people’s health through every stage of climate emergencies– not only in terms of maintaining care access during disasters, but also potentially as dedicated resilience hubs.
Join Healthcare Without Harm, and Emerald Cities Collaborative to learn about the Community Climate Equity Initiative and how healthcare systems can partner with community based organizations to protect health during climate events. We’ll also learn about emergent opportunities for practical ways to champion climate resilience policies and actions within your own healthcare workplace.
