The climate crisis is the greatest threat to human health. This statement, repeated by many national and international organizations, is of central importance when it comes to clarifying the role of healthcare in times of global climate crisis. The healthcare sector is not only called upon to warn of the consequences of the climate crisis (e.g. heat protection) and mitigate them (e.g. treatment of allergies), but is also called upon to reduce its contribution to the climate crisis.
