How Health Systems Are Adapting to Climate Change

Health Affairs Publishing held a virtual briefing on our May 2026 theme issue on climate, health, and equity, featuring the latest research and perspectives. As climate-related emergencies intensify, this briefing examined how climate change is affecting human health, health equity, and the capacity of health and social systems to respond. The final panel of this briefing explored health system approaches to climate adaptation with moderator Margaret Winchester and panelists Jeff Romine, Genevieve S.
