There are innovative greenhouse gas reduction approaches available for the health and social services sector today that could already be applied to buildings, facilities, food services, work practices and vehicle fleets. The CTCN works with various stakeholders to find the right climate technologies to reduce the carbon footprint of operations while adapting to the effects of climate change on human health. Adaptation techniques such as education of health personnel, malaria protection and prevention and health risk monitoring can increase the resilience of communities to the potential impacts of climate change.
