National Health, Sustainability and Climate (NHSC) Unit & Australian Centre for Disease Control (CDC), 2024
The National Health and Climate Strategy (the Strategy) is a whole-of-government plan to address the health and wellbeing impacts of climate change and the contribution the health system make to climate change through the generation of greenhouse gas emissions in care delivery. The 49 actions the Australian Government has committed to under the Strategy will require a range of approaches to deliver successfully. Key to the Strategy’s implementation will be a systematic approach to managing a complex program of work, coordination and leveraging of related policy across all levels of government, a diverse range of portfolios, and the mobilisation of numerous external stakeholders including communication with consumers to increase awareness and promote behaviour change.
