Sustainable and resilient – Health New Zealand

Goal: Realise co-benefits that include the environment alongside health, equity, social and economic values.

Health New Zealand can create significant social value and tackle health inequities through meeting our climate goals.

Linking health, climate change, and sustainability will allow people and whānau to experience better physical and environmental health. This means we can see the health benefits of improving environmental sustainability and climate resilience.

We encourage our kaimahi to lead and create systems that address environmental sustainability, which have a positive effect on equity, society, and economic values. This includes ideas to reduce waste in the health system.
