Abstract: With growing recognition that climate change is a significant threat to human health, healthcare leaders are increasingly recognised as critical allies in addressing this threat. This paper describes the approach that the International Hospital Federation’s Geneva Sustainability Centre is pursuing to better prepare healthcare leaders for this reality and the evidence-based principles informing the team’s work. We also share lessons learned so far, as well as recommendations for health system leaders pursuing work within their own organisations and communities.
