See the following recommended climate resilience plan outline below, which crosswalks Health Care Without Harm and Practice Greenhealth's guidance with the OCCHE elements guide.
Of note, we are expecting this work to evolve and shift as we learn from one another. If you have any recommendations for alterations or additions to this outline, please share your thoughts with us.
