The online seminar “Towards a Healthier Planet: Integrated Strategies for Climate Change Mitigation/Adaptation and Public Health in National Health Systems” hosted by Health and Global Policy Institute on Friday, January 19, 2024, was featured in the “with Planet” section of the Asahi Shimbun.
The seminar featured two guest speakers committed to national climate action strategies in the UK and France as examples of advanced government-led efforts to achieve “net zero” greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. The speakers introduced and discussed their national strategies for mitigation and adaptation to climate change in health systems.
This article introduces the content of the HGPI’s online seminar and describes the efforts of the two countries to integrate health systems into national climate change strategies. It also describes measures involving diverse sectors as examples that can serve as guidelines for Japan.
