Summary of ATACH Climate Resilient Health Systems Working Group (CRHS WG) Terms of Reference

Mission

The CRHS WG mission is to support the ATACH's goal of building climate resilient and sustainable health systems by focusing on adaptation to current, emerging, and future health impacts of climate change, using collective stakeholder power and promoting integration into national, regional, and global plans.

Objectives and Functions

Key objectives include identifying and sharing technical knowledge on climate change vulnerability assessments and adaptation planning, disseminating evidence and best practices, addressing country needs for climate resilient health systems, and facilitating access to funding and technical support. Functions align with ATACH but emphasize international shifts, monitoring country progress, quality assurance, financing support, and knowledge sharing among participants.

Secretariat

WHO serves as the Secretariat, subject to available human and financial resources, to coordinate the WG's activities and provide secretarial support.

Participants

The CRHS WG is open to ATACH participants, including government institutions and technical agencies. Interested individuals join through a specific application process and can participate in activities as needed, with the option to leave the WG.

Responsibilities

Participants must adhere to the Terms of Reference, promote WG goals, actively engage in activities and discussions, share knowledge, and attend meetings. Chairs, appointed by WHO for one year, provide leadership, chair meetings, and ensure coordination with the Steering Group.

Amendments

The Secretariat can amend the Terms of Reference with input from the Steering Group to adapt to evolving needs and priorities.
