Philanthropic Giving
Strategies for Giving
Considers the significant impact of climate change on health and explores opportunities for impactful resource allocation in healthcare resilience.

Included in Part 2 (The Purposeful Investment Landscape) under the Philanthropic Giving chapter and Strategies for Giving subchapter, Impatience Earth’s Easy Digest “The links between climate change and health” is a short funder-focused briefing that documents how the climate crisis is already harming physical and mental health—disproportionately affecting those with the fewest resources—identifies fossil fuel use and land clearing as shared drivers of both climate change and poor health, highlights escalating risks such as child undernutrition and the healthcare sector’s emissions in high-income countries, and argues that philanthropy can catalyze action to build health system resilience; it is included to guide purposeful investment and philanthropic strategies toward health-focused climate resilience and upstream interventions.
