Description
Health and social care services need both to reduce their climate impact and to manage the risks associated with a changing climate. At the same time, the transition must safeguard patient safety, staff working conditions and the financial sustainability of services. Changes to routines and working practices directly affect staff, particularly in services already facing high demands and workforce shortages.
The project will conduct a systematic review to examine how climate transition measures in municipal and regional health and social care affect staff’s work environment and working conditions. It will also identify the organisational conditions and implementation strategies needed to embed such measures sustainably in everyday practice.
The project is guided by the principle of a just transition, meaning that climate action should go hand in hand with decent working conditions, security and staff participation. By synthesising existing research and identifying knowledge gaps, the project will provide a basis for the continued development of policy and practice.
