UNITED NATIONS DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMME (UNDP)



The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) is the UN’s global development
network, advocating for change and connecting countries to knowledge,
experience, and resources to help people build a better life, as envisaged by
2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. We are on the ground in more than 170
countries and territories. UNDP works with countries to understand the social
and economic factors that play a crucial role in driving health and disease, and
to respond to such dynamics with appropriate policies and programmes. Building
on its expertise in connecting health, climate change, environment, governance
and poverty reduction, UNDP’s technical work focuses on enhanced risk knowledge;
health, climate and pollution data and early warning systems; integrated and
risk-informed climate-health policies; fiscal and institutional frameworks; and
enhanced service delivery capacities. UNDP’s Climate

Promise is the world’s largest offer of support to countries on national climate
pledges under the Paris Agreement. These pledges, or Nationally Determined
Contributions (NDCs), are crucial stepping stones towards net-zero emissions and
meeting the Paris goals. The initiative supports over 120 countries, in
collaboration with over 35 partners and is as major contribution to the NDC
Partnership. The actions on the ground are further supported by a number of
signature initiatives. Key among them is the Sustainable Health in Procurement
Project which, together with partners such as Healthcare Without Harm, promotes
sustainable procurement in the health sector. As a Global Fund Principal
recipient in 21 countries and 2 regional programmes, UNDP is working with
partners to promote smart healthcare facilities and sustainable health
procurement.


SUPPORTING THE FOLLOWING COMMITMENTS:

 * Conduct climate change and health vulnerability and adaptation assessments
   (V&As) at population level and/or health care facility level.
 * Develop a health national adaptation plan (HNAP) informed by the health V&A,
   which forms part of the National Adaptation Plan.
 * Use the V&A and HNAP to facilitate access to climate change funding for
   health.
 * Deliver a baseline assessment of greenhouse gas emissions of the health
   system (including supply chains).
 * Develop an action plan or roadmap by a set date to develop a sustainable low
   carbon health system (including supply chains).


COUNTRY EXPERIENCE:

Through the Climate Promise, UNDP supports over 120 countries across five
regions to develop ambitious and inclusive NDCs, including integrating sectors
outside of energy and environment. – COMMITMENT 2

In the framework of the ‘Sustainable Health in Procurement Project’ UNDP
supported 10 countries – Argentina, Brazil, China, India, Moldova, South Africa,
Tanzania, Ukraine, Zambia to reduce toxicity of chemicals and materials in
health products, reduce greenhouse gases in the supply chain and to conserve
resources - COMMITMENT 5

Since 2017, UNDP has supported 16 countries – Angola, Chad, Eswatini, India,
Lebanon, Liberia, Libya, Malawi, Namibia, Nepal, South Sudan, Sudan, Uganda,
Yemen, Zambia and Zimbabwe – to reduce carbon emissions in over 1,000 health and
storage facilities through the installation of solar panels – COMMITMENT 1

UNDP and partners are working on the development of a climate and health
co-investment facility to finance climate and health work at the country level
and integrate health into their nationally determined contributions (NDCs).
Target countries include Argentina, Bhutan, Cabo Verde, Cote d'Ivoire, Georgia,
Ghana, Guinea, Indonesia, Jordan, Madagascar, Morocco, Nepal, Sri Lanka, State
of Palestine, Thailand, Togo, Uganda, Vietnam, Yemen – COMMITMENT 2, 3 and 6
