This report, an update to the previous third health adaptation report published in 2021, will summarise the latest available evidence relating to climate impacts to the health service and population health, and outline actions being taken by various actors to build resilience to these risks. The findings will inform the forthcoming fourth Climate Change Risk Assessment.
The Fourth Health and Climate Adaptation Report will:
- provide any new information on or updates to risks and actions from previous reporting round
- assess progress towards completing previous actions, and detail how progress is being measured
- identify any new actions required to tackle climate risk in the health sector
- include any case studies which demonstrate climate impacts and/or good adaptation practices
Input is encouraged from stakeholders across the health sector including those working in NHS Trusts, Integrated Care Boards, primary care, Health and Wellbeing Boards, and the Public Health system, on this call for evidence.
