4.4 Impact of society – good practices

Good practice 1 – WHO

The WHO European Regional Office for Europe is working to identify policy options to help prevent,
prepare for and respond to the health impacts of climate change and is supporting Member States in
selecting and implementing the most appropriate policies, actions and strategies. The Office supports
Member States by building capacity to develop early warning and surveillance systems and to develop and
run targeted campaigns to address the immediate and distant health consequences of climate change. 1

Good practice 2 - Network for Greening the Financial System.

Central banks and financial supervisors in various countries are trying to develop principles for testing the
resilience of banks and other financial institutions to climate change and encourage them to provide green
credit. To achieve these objectives, eight central banks and supervisors have set up in 2017. Network for
Greening the Financial System. The network currently comprises 42 institutions on five continents. Among
them is the German Central Bank, which is conducting a programme to review strategies to support
sustainable investment and is working on the next guide on greening financial markets. 2
