Tailoring climate–health competencies for diverse health cadres: Findings from a scoping review

Climate change poses a growing global health threat, disproportionately affecting low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) with fragile health systems and limited adaptive capacity. The health workforce plays a critical role in managing climate-sensitive health risks but often lacks adequate training. Building climate-resilient health systems therefore requires equipping health workers with the relevant knowledge, skills, and adaptive capacities. The goal of this review was to synthesize existing literature to inform the creation of a climate-health competency framework appropriate for a diverse health workforce.
