Pan American Climate Resilient Health Systems

The document provides the curriculum for two training sessions focused on health system decarbonization and climate resilience. Session 7 focuses on greenhouse gas emissions scopes, life-cycle analysis, and emission reduction opportunities. Session 8 focuses on defining climate-resilient, low-carbon, and carbon-neutral health systems, utilizing the WHO framework and indicators for monitoring and evaluation across key areas such as financing, workforce, and governance.

• Session 7 aims to teach participants how to define and analyze scope 1-3 greenhouse gas emissions from health systems, the theoretical basis of life-cycle analysis, and current GHG emission estimates.
• The course includes a case study objective to describe the health co-benefits that result from transitioning to low carbon health systems.
• Session 8 focuses on defining climate-resilient, low-carbon, and carbon-neutral health systems, and utilizes the WHO framework and indicators to measure climate resilience.
• Monitoring and evaluation of climate-resilient health facilities are focused on seven specific areas: financing, health workforce, service delivery, essential medical products and technologies, health information systems, leadership and governance, and health emergency planning.
