Climate change represents a major challenge for emergency and disaster medicine, with both direct and indirect impacts on healthcare systems. It leads to an increase in heat-related illnesses, the multiplication of natural disasters, and the spread of infectious diseases, while also worsening mental health disorders. To adapt to these challenges, several strategies are necessary: strengthening the resilience of hospital infrastructures, integrating climate risks into medical training, optimizing epidemiological surveillance, and reducing the carbon footprint of the healthcare sector. A coordinated approach between healthcare stakeholders and governments is essential to mitigate the consequences of climate change on public health.
