Leveraging PHFI’s networks to disseminate recommendations from HCN policy briefs

The proposed work aims to convene stakeholders-health professionals, academia, civil society organisations, think tanks and policy makers to disseminate the recommendations from the policy brief on climate resilient health systems developed by the Health and Climate Network(HCN).

The Public Health Foundation of India(PHFI) and its sister organisation- Centre for Chronic Disease Control(CCDC) are strategically poised to deliver the stated objectives given the extensive networks and collaborations already existing as a platform for transformative work with the health systems in India.

PHFI's Centre for Environmental Health , recognised as a Centre of Excellence by the Government of India's Ministry of Health and Family Welfare within its National Program for Climate Change and Health, is engaged in providing technical inputs for development of an implementation framework for green and climate resilient health systems which will be customised for use across every state in India.

CCDC's Health and Environment Leadership Platform(HELP), established collaboratively with Health Care Without Harm works with private hospitals to commit to decarbonisation as part of the Race to Zero initiative of UNFCCC for COP 26 and beyond.

The team will leverage recommendations from the specific brief and related briefs on energy, transport and nutrition to enhance uptake and implementation.
