On July 4, 2024, the policy recommendation from Health and Global Policy Institute (HGPI)’s Planetary Health Project, “Developing a National Health and Climate Strategy for Japan: Recommendations for Building a Climate Resilient, Decarbonized Health System” (published on June 26, 2024), was mentioned in an article in the Mainichi Shimbun.
The article summarizes recent trends in the healthcare sector regarding health impacts caused by climate change. It highlights the “Declaration of Climate Emergency in Primary Care (the Hamamatsu Declaration),” issued at the Japan Primary Care Association Annual Conference held on June 9, 2024, and the initiatives of the “Green Practice Japan,” an advisory board member of HGPI’s Planetary Health Project.
HGPI’s policy recommendation aims to enhance the resilience of Japan’s healthcare system to climate change, promote the transition to decarbonization, and improve sustainability. It calls on the government to set specific greenhouse gas emission reduction targets and create a decarbonization roadmap for the healthcare sector.
