Abstract: Climate extremes are unprecedented straining healthcare systems and intensifying pre-existing issues. This commentary addresses lack of (1) knowledge on unintended health consequences of adaptation actions, (2) interdisciplinary research frameworks, and (3) forward-looking, context-based scenarios. Collaboration across natural, medical, and social sciences can facilitate shifts toward more sustainable and equitable healthcare.
