To advance health-focused climate change action and sustainability in B.C.’s Southern Interior, we’ve developed the Climate Change and Sustainability Roadmap. The Roadmap will serve as a strategy to guide 20 climate change and sustainability actions across IH over the next five years.

Building a network of health-care staff who participate in projects and initiatives to advance environmental sustainability and climate resilience across the organization is a key part of IH’s vision of improved health and well-being for all.
