Abstract
The World Health Organization's Operational Framework for Climate Resilient and Low Carbon Health Systems outlines 10 broad components for the development and maintenance of health systems that respond effectively to climate-related challenges. This work analyses the WHO framework from a participatory health informatics perspective and identifies specific initiatives involving non-professionals that align with the framework. Citizen and patient participation in the development of climate-resilient health systems is not only possible but also necessary to maximize climate resiliency at the community and global levels.
