    Abstract Objectives: Climate change (CC) is of major importance for physicians as they are directly confronted with changing disease patterns, work in a greenhouse gas intensive sector and can be potential advocates for healthy people on a healthy planet.
    Methods: We assessed third to fifth year medical students' needs to support the integration of CC topics into medical curricula. A questionnaire with 54 single choice-based items was newly designed with the following sections: role perception, knowledge test, learning needs, preference of educational strategies and demographic characteristics. It was administered online to students at Heidelberg medical faculty. Data sets were used for descriptive statistics and regression modelling.
    Results: 72.4% of students (N=170, 56.2% female, 76% aged 20-24 years) (strongly) agreed that physicians carry a responsibility to address CC in their work setting while only 4.7% (strongly) agreed that their current medical training had given them enough skills to do so. Knowledge was high in the area of CC, health impacts of CC, vulnerabilities and adaptation (70.1% correct answers). Knowledge gaps were greatest for health co-benefits and climate-friendly healthcare (55.5% and 16.7% of correct answers, respectively). 79.4% wanted to see CC and health included in the medical curriculum with a preference for integration into existing mandatory courses. A multilinear regression model with factors age, gender, semester, aspired work setting, political leaning, role perception and knowledge explained 45.9% of variance for learning needs.
    Conclusion: The presented results encourage the integration of CC and health topics including health co-benefits and climate-friendly healthcare, as well as respective professional role development into existing mandatory courses of the medical curriculum.

    Title translation Integration von Klimawandel und Gesundheitsthemen in den medizinischen Lehrplan – eine quantitative Bedarfsanalyse unter Medizinstudierenden an der Universität Heidelberg
    Abstract Zielsetzungen: Der Klimawandel ist für Ärzt*innen von großer Bedeutung, da sie mit sich verändernden Krankheitsbildern konfrontiert sind, in einem treibhausgasintensiven Sektor arbeiten und potenzielle Fürsprecher für gesunde Menschen auf einem gesunden Planeten sind.
    Methoden: Wir untersuchten die Lernbedürfnisse der Medizinstudierenden im dritten bis fünften Studienjahr im Bezug auf die Integration von Klimawandel und Gesundheits-Themen in die medizinischen Lehrpläne. Es wurde ein neuer Fragebogen mit 54 Items entwickelt. Dieser enthält die folgenden Abschnitte: Rollenwahrnehmung, Wissen, Lernbedürfnisse, Präferenz von Lernstrategien und demografische Merkmale. Der Fragebogen wurde online an Studierende der Medizinischen Fakultät Heidelberg verschickt. Die Datensätze wurden mittels deskriptiver Statistik und Regressionsanalyse ausgewertet.
    Ergebnisse: 72,4% der Studierenden (n=170, 56,2% weiblich, 76% im Alter von 20-24 Jahren) stimmten (stark) zu, dass Ärzt*innen Verantwortung dafür tragen, den Klimawandel in ihrem Arbeitsumfeld zu adressieren. Nur 4,7% stimmten (stark) zu, dass in ihrer bisherigen medizinischen Ausbildung genügend Fähigkeiten und Wissen vermittelt wurden, um dies zu tun. Der Wissensstand war in den Bereichen Klimawandel, gesundheitliche Auswirkungen, Vulnerabilität und Anpassung hoch (70,1% richtige Antworten). Die größten Wissenslücken gab es bei den gesundheitlichen Zusatznutzen („Health Co-Benefits“) und der nachhaltigen Gesundheitsversorgung (55,5% bzw. 16,7% richtige Antworten). 79,4% der Befragten wünschten sich, dass die Themen im Bereich Klimawandel und Gesundheit in das medizinische Curriculum aufgenommen werden („Lernbedürfnis“), wobei sie eine Integration in bestehende Pflichtkurse bevorzugten. Ein multiples lineares Regressionsmodell mit den Faktoren Alter, Geschlecht, Semester, angestrebtes Arbeitsumfeld, politische Orientierung, Rollenwahrnehmung und Wissen erklärte 45,9% der Varianz des Lernbedürfnisses.
    Schlussfolgerung: Die vorgestellten Ergebnisse ermutigen dazu, Themen zu Klimawandel und Gesundheit, in bestehende Pflichtkurse des medizinischen Curriculums zu integrieren. Dabei sollten auch gesundheitliche Co-Benefits, eine klimafreundliche Gesundheitsversorgung und die Entwicklung eines entsprechenden ärztlichen Rollenverständnisses berücksichtigt werden. ; Objectives: Climate change (CC) is of major importance for physicians as they are directly confronted with changing disease patterns, work in a greenhouse gas intensive sector and can be potential advocates for healthy people on a healthy planet.

    Abstract This paper is about the future role of the commercial sector in global health and health equity. The discussion is not about the overthrow of capitalism nor a full-throated embrace of corporate partnerships. No single solution can eradicate the harms from the commercial determinants of health-the business models, practices, and products of market actors that damage health equity and human and planetary health and wellbeing. But evidence shows that progressive economic models, international frameworks, government regulation, compliance mechanisms for commercial entities, regenerative business types and models that incorporate health, social, and environmental goals, and strategic civil society mobilisation together offer possibilities of systemic, transformative change, reduce those harms arising from commercial forces, and foster human and planetary wellbeing. In our view, the most basic public health question is not whether the world has the resources or will to take such actions, but whether humanity can survive if society fails to make this effort.

    Abstract Purpose: General practitioners (GPs) could play a role in mitigating climate change by raising awareness of its impact on human health and implementing changes to improve population health and decreasing environmental footprints. The aim of this study was to assess GPs' knowledge and perspectives about the health impacts of climate change.
    Method: A questionnaire was sent to 1972 GPs in the French-speaking part of Switzerland. Knowledge of the impact of environmental degradations and climate change on health and willingness to address climate change with patients, to be exemplary and to act as role models were surveyed as well as demographic characteristics of GPs.
    Results: Respondents (N = 497) expressed a high level of self-reported knowledge regarding climate change, although it was lower for more specific topics, such as planetary health or health-environment co-benefits. Participants mostly agreed that it is necessary to adapt clinical practice to the health impacts of climate change and that they have a role in providing information on climate change and its links to human health.
    Conclusion: Most of the GPs were concerned about environmental and climate degradation. However, this study revealed a gap between the willingness of GPs to integrate the impact of climate change on health into their clinical activities and their lack of overall knowledge and scientific evidence on effective interventions. A promising way forward may be to develop co-benefit interventions adapted to the clinical setting on diet, active mobility and connecting with nature.
