The Health Sector Climate Pledge signed by the University of California Health (UC Health) is a commitment to address climate change and improve the health and well-being of individuals worldwide. As a global imperative, it is crucial for health care providers to take action in response to environmental challenges. UC Health has responded by developing comprehensive and equity-focused resilience plans across their system, collaborating with over 130 other organizations and 900 hospitals to address climate change challenges in the health sector.
Their latest report highlights the advancements made in individual Health Centers and outlines the next steps in their resilience planning journey. This demonstrates UC Health’s commitment to creating a sustainable and climate-resilient health care system for the communities they serve. The dedication and expertise showcased by UC Health colleagues and student fellows who have contributed to advancing climate resilience efforts in health centers reflect their collaborative approach to tackling this challenge.
