Abstract

Climate change presents significant risks to human health, with healthcare facilities increasingly vulnerable to extreme weather, floods, droughts, and climate-sensitive diseases. This study examines the development of Green and Climate-Resilient Healthcare Facilities in Rudraprayag, Uttarakhand, through multi-sectoral collaboration. Key interventions include energy audits, LED lighting, solar panel installation, and rainwater harvesting, aimed at enhancing sustainability and resilience. The initiative demonstrates the importance of proactive adaptation measures and sustainable practices in healthcare infrastructure, providing a model for other regions to ensure continuous, high-quality care amid escalating climate threats. This approach underscores the critical need for innovation, collaboration, and commitment in building climate-resilient health systems.
