In the face of escalating climate-related health risks, a robust healthcare workforce is crucial. Southeast Asia, with its vulnerability to extreme weather events, air pollution, and rising health inequities, urgently requires healthcare professionals equipped to address these challenges. The WHO’s framework for building climate-resilient health systems emphasizes training and capacity building to strengthen the resilience of healthcare systems. While 16 of 19 reviewed NAPs included actions for the health workforce, more comprehensive plans are needed to ensure a resilient workforce capable of navigating shifting health risks and supporting the most vulnerable populations.
