Health workforce Public health and health care professionals require training and capacity building to have the knowledge and tools necessary to build climate-resilient health systems. This includes an understanding of climate risks to individuals, communities and health care facilities, and approaches to protect and promote health given the current and projected impacts of climate change. HUMAN RESOURCE CAPACITY (2018) 40% International Health Regulations (IHR) Monitoring Framework Human Resources Core Capacity (31) Completely "Does your human resource capacity as measured through the IHR adequately consider the human resource requirements to respond to climate-related events?" (32) No "Is there a national curriculum developed to train health personnel on the health impacts of climate change?" (32) HEALTH WORKFORCE (PER 10 000 POPULATION, 2017) (33) 15.6 Medical doctors 3.1 Nurses and midwives N/A Environmental and public health workers While there are no specific WHO recommendations on national health workforce densities, the 'Workload Indicators of Staffing Need' (WISN) is a human resource management tool that can be used to provide insights into staffing needs and decision-making. Additionally, the National Health Workforce Accounts (NHWA) is a system by which countries can progressively improve the availability, quality and use of health workforce data through monitoring of a set of indicators to support achievement of universal health coverage (UHC), SDGs and other health objectives. The purpose of the NHWA is to facilitate the standardization and interoperability of health workforce information.

Health care facilities Climate change poses a serious threat to the functioning of health care facilities. Extreme weather events increase the demand for emergency health services but can also damage health care facility infrastructure and disrupt the provision of services. Increased risks of climate-sensitive diseases will also require greater capacity from often already strained health services. In SIDS, health care facilities are often in low-lying areas, subject to flooding and storm surges making them particularly vulnerable.
