A Closer Look at the Economics
In 2007, world health expenditures reached $5.3 trillion USD,
$639 per person per year or 8-10% of global GDP.
19
Adaptation
 We need develop
capacity to
understand and
address the shifting
burden of disease.
 We need to
strengthen our
health systems and
make them resilient.
20
Mitigation
 WHO mandate from member
states: develop “programs
for health systems that will
contribute to reducing their
own greenhouse gas
emissions”
 The health sector has a
significant climate footprint.
 We can lead by example
and demonstrate climate
friendly policies and
approaches in our societies.
 Climate mitigation can
provide co-benefits to public
health
 Mitigation and adaptation
strategies can work together
