Role in the Project
Within the ISMED-CLIM project, HGRSS supports the contribution of Harvard-affiliated partners, particularly in activities related to health system resilience and climate adaptation.
The organization contributes to the development and adaptation of tools aimed at strengthening healthcare system preparedness for climate-related events. In particular, it supports the adaptation of the Climate Resilience for Frontline Clinics toolkit, originally developed in the United States, to Mediterranean healthcare settings. This includes providing expertise in healthcare system resilience, emergency preparedness, and climate-related risk management.
Through its role, HGRSS helps ensure that international best practices and evidence-based approaches are integrated into the project, supporting the development of practical tools and strategies for improving healthcare system resilience across Mediterranean regions.
