| description |
The emergence of the Coronavirus
disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has brought with it a sharp
focus on public health services and health systems as well
as shed light on the chronic lack of capacity to manage
emerging public health risks. Climate change further
exacerbates this challenge. In combination with COVID-19,
the climate crisis presents a clear and present risk of
disrupting and overwhelming health systems, health care
facilities, and the health care staff upon which these
systems rely. This risk is of particular concern in those
settings with already weak health systems, leadership
challenges, insufficient resources, and limited capacities.
Despite these concerns, the collective global effort to
respond to COVID-19 and recover from it also presents
important opportunities for implementing profound
cross-cutting efforts within the health sector to tackle
both the pandemic and the climate crisis. This report
provides a framework that builds on the World Bank’s
climate-smart health care approach and integrates the World
Bank’s multiphase programmatic approach (MPA) into the
global COVID-19 response. It is intended to guide ongoing as
well as pipeline activities and investments targeted at the
pandemic, with a view to enabling the health sector to
leapfrog toward climate-smart universal health coverage (UHC). |
