Botswana has signed the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change to show commitment toward building a resistant health system.

Botswana is currently grappling with new health challenges brought about by the effects of climate change, which include the increase and prevalence of climate-related diseases and conditions, said Edwin Dikoloti, Botswana’s minister of health and wellness, at the signing ceremony in Gaborone, the capital of Botswana, on Friday.

According to Dikoloti, the framework’s goal is to increase the climate resilience of health systems to protect and improve the health of communities in an unstable and changing climate, while optimizing the use of resources and implementing strategies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
