Resumen
Descripción
As the climate crisis escalates,
evidence is mounting about its growing harm to human health
and well-being. Indeed, this relationship between climate
change and human health is now one of the defining
challenges of the era, and, at current trajectories of
change, it will remain so for some time to come. The World
Bank has launched a new Climate and Health Program whose aim
is to slow and blunt the force of climate change’s dangerous
collision with human health. The program pivots on three
foundational components that will: assess country
climate-health vulnerabilities and impacts to design
country-tailored solutions; scale up investments to build
low-carbon resilient health systems; and build and deepen
partnerships at global, regional, and country levels to
multiply and magnify these efforts. The Bank will use the
full range of its financing instruments for both adaptation
and mitigation activities.
