Multisolving For Climate And Health What can we learn from the ‘bright spots’ around the world where policies are tackling health and climate change together?

The Search for Case Studies Global scan gathered 106 examples and information on the: • Context (social, political, technological), • Collaboration, and • Change achieved by the policies Criteria • Diversity of scales, regions, sectors • Intentional crossing of typical sector boundaries

We found examples across scales … sectors … and regions

Narrowing to Ten Cases  Involvement of both health and climate stakeholders at the design stage  Health and climate outcomes evident  Availability of information and contacts  Relevance to United States context  Geographical diversity

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

Green Curtains Regulates indoor air temperatures, promotes healthy diets, and reduces pollution by growing decorative and edible climbing plants on the exterior walls of buildings Goals Collaborators • • Reduce energy Kyocera, Japanese consumption government, environmental • Promote healthy diets NGOs, schools, restaurants, • Reduce CO 2 emissions residents

Green Curtains Results

The State of Multisolving • A hidden movement: we are missing opportunities to learn and build capacity, as there is not much sense of a community or a body of practice • Often less about technological innovation than about culture change or new connections • Perhaps a sweet spot at the city scale - big enough for synergy, small enough for relationships

Common Elements Champion(s) Strategies to Design for counter resistance learning and to change growth over time Financing Metrics and plan and/or analysis low cost design Community engagement

Support More Multisolving • Name multisolving as a field of practice • Support opportunities for learning together, reflection, capacity building across different types of multisolving • Support more research – documenting benefits and success factors in a deeper way
