The health sector is known to be one of the major contributors
towards the greenhouse gas emissions causing the climate crisis,
the greatest health threat of the 21st century. This volume
positions the health sector as a leader in the fight against
climate change and explores the role of the health system in
climate policy action. It delivers an overview of the linkages
between climate change and the health sector, with chapters on the
impact of climate change on health, its connection to pandemics,
and its effects on food, nutrition and air quality, while examining
gendered and other vulnerabilities. It delves into the different
operational aspects of the health sector in India and details how
each one can become climate-smart to reduce the health sector’s
overall carbon footprint, by looking at sustainable procurement,
green and resilient healthcare infrastructure, and the management
of transportation, energy, water, waste, chemicals, pharmaceuticals
and plastics in healthcare. Well supplemented with rigorous case
studies, the book will be indispensable for students, teachers, and
researchers of environmental studies, health sciences and climate
change. It will be useful for healthcare workers, public health
officials, healthcare leaders, policy planners and those interested
in climate resilience and preparedness in the health sector. The
