What are the Barriers?
Multisolving For Climate And Health What can we learn from the places where policies are successfully improving health and climate change together?
We found 100+ sectors… examples across scales… and regions.
Selected Case Studies Plants edible or decorative climbing plants on exterior Green Curtains Japan Country Nature, Buildings of buildings Encourages parents, teachers, and students to walk to Walk to School England Country Transport school Retrofits houses to reduce cold-related illnesses, energy Warm Up New Zealand New Zealand Country Buildings costs, and carbon emissions Closes over 120 km of roadway to cars on Sundays and Ciclovía Bogotá Colombia City Transport holidays Improves air quality, reduces congestion, and makes Healthy Streets for London England City Transport London healthier and more attractive ProAire Mexico City Transport Unites multiple organizations to reach air quality goals Espigoladors Gleaning Volunteers glean, distribute through food banks, and Spain Community Food Movement process food into jams, sauces, and soups Healthy Meals for Patients Dialysis center serves vegetarian food and recycles all Malaysia Hospital Food and the Environment forms of waste Encourages behaviors such as turning off equipment, Operation TLC England Hospital Energy closing doors, and allocating patient quiet time Hospitals switch to anesthetic gases that lower costs Smarter Anesthetic Gases Australia Hospital Waste and emissions
Ciclovía Bogotá Closes 75 miles of roadways in Bogotá to cars on Sundays and holidays to encourage recreation and reduce air pollution, noise, and obesity and chronic disease. Goals Collaborators Promote physical activity & District Institute of • • healthy habits Recreation and Sport Reduce emissions Health, Mobility, Education, • • Alleviate inequity and other Secretariats • Reduce noise levels Police, volunteers, others • •
Ciclovía Results
The State of Multisolving • Monetary benefits often exceed costs • Often less about technological innovation than about culture change or new connections • Targeting the most vulnerable also leads to benefits for all • A hidden movement: we are missing opportunities to learn and build capacity
Common Success Factors Champions Financing plan or low-cost design Design for learning and growth over time Metrics and analysis Community engagement Strategies to counter resistance to change
How to Support More Multisolving • Name multisolving as a field of practice • Support more research • Support opportunities for learning together, reflection, capacity building across different types of multisolving • Expect to start small
