Health systems' adaptations to climate change: an umbrella review of global evidence protocol.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Health systems' (HS) adaptations to climate change (CC) cover two major, and interrelated dimensions: (1) Environmental sustainability-actions aimed at limiting the negative impact of HS on the environment (eg, by reducing greenhouse gas emissions) and (2) Climate resilience-adaptations focused on improving HS' ability to cope with the impact of CC (eg, by improving HS preparedness to climate-induced natural disasters). Within both dimensions, a diversity of actions, at different HS levels, can take place. The general objective is to provide health policy makers with a comprehensive evidence-based set of recommendations on the scope and effectiveness of HS adaptations to CC.

Methods and analysis

An umbrella review will be conducted. Systematic reviews will be in
