From fires to flooding and extreme heat, communities around the world are facing the effects of climate change. Concurrently, plastic pollution is accelerating, contaminating ecosystems and communities.
For healthcare institutions around the world, these are not distant threats; they are operational and public health emergencies already affecting care delivery, infrastructure, supply chains, and most importantly, public health. Dangerous weather events, disease outbreaks, poor air quality, and pollution are intensifying the pressure on healthcare in every part of the globe.
Yet the healthcare institutions responding to the impacts of these crises are also contributing to them. They can—and must—become part of the solution. By transforming how care is delivered, how resources are used and how institutions prepare for a changing world, the sector can help create a healthier, more resilient future for people and the planet.
The GGHH Roadmap presents the vision for this transformation and the journey that the network can commit to taking together to achieve it.
Commit and transform together.
Action Areas
The GGHH Roadmap centers on four action areas where healthcare institutions can most effectively build climate resilience, cut emissions, reduce avoidable plastics, and protect people and the planet.
