Pan-Canadian Network: Health System Response to Climate Change
We bring together health leaders, planetary health experts, and researchers to support collaborative exchange across the country, with a focus on shared learning and implementing collective, evidence-informed actions that strengthen organizational capacity to respond to climate change in ways that are coherent, coordinated, and tailored to local needs.
What we do
We convene health delivery organizations and agencies across Canada to strengthen the health system’s response to climate and planetary health challenges. Through cross-jurisdiction learning and collaboration, the Network helps members share practical approaches, coordinate collective opportunities, accelerate the uptake of evidence-informed actions, and build on existing capacity within their own systems.
Create and sustain a mechanism for ongoing knowledge exchange and to enable the dissemination of leading practices, tools, research, and implementation initiatives.
Leverage existing infrastructure, expertise, and momentum to enable coordinated, synergistic action and strengthen capacity.
