Climate and Health Strategy
Climate change affects people’s health and wellbeing. Australians will experience increasingly severe physical and mental health challenges from climate-related hazards.
The World Health Organisation (WHO) has declared Climate Change ‘the greatest threat to global health in the 21st century’ (World Health Organisation 2015, Climate and Human Health).
The health sector must take action to protect the health of current and future generations.
The SNHN Climate and Health Strategy 2020 outlines how our organisation considers the impact of climate change on health and defines how operational policies, procedures, and decisions are being adapted.
