The Climate and Health Co-Benefits branch responds to expanding calls that the health sector has an important role in addressing climate challenges and moving towards a climate resilient health system. This branch aims to strengthen capacity for intersectoral, intergenerational and Indigenous-led approaches that explore the co-benefits of water, land, health and climate connections in northern BC and beyond.

Bringing together health authorities, universities, and community partners, the intention is to create opportunities to bring together different knowledges, resources and tools; identify synergies, common initiatives and pathways across multiple institutions; and explore ways to integrate Indigenous knowledges and priorities within sectors such as public health, environment, and education.
