The National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR) has announced a significant commitment to tackling climate change and its impact on healthcare.
Recognizing the growing threat climate change poses to public health, NIHR is launching new initiatives to support research in this crucial area. A key aspect of this commitment is a £25 million funding call. This substantial investment aims to propel research efforts focused on developing sustainable practices within the healthcare and social care system. By supporting research into innovative solutions, NIHR aspires to minimize the environmental footprint of the healthcare sector.
Furthermore, NIHR plans to actively share research findings and foster research expertise in climate change and sustainability. This includes disseminating valuable knowledge gained through funded research projects and nurturing a new generation of researchers equipped to address these pressing challenges.
NIHR's comprehensive approach underscores the institute's recognition of the critical role research plays in mitigating the effects of climate change on healthcare systems. By providing financial resources, promoting knowledge sharing, and cultivating research capacity, NIHR paves the way for a more sustainable and resilient healthcare future.
