The health sector plays a crucial role in addressing the challenges posed by climate change. It must both manage the unavoidable health impacts and take steps to reduce its own greenhouse gas emissions, contributing to broader climate mitigation efforts. Kerala, an Indian state, has formulated its State Action Plan on Climate Change and Human Health (SAPCCHH), a comprehensive long-term planning document. Set to remain in effect until 2027, the plan has broader implications for promoting climate-resilient and sustainable healthcare. Kerala's public health system stands out for its emphasis on accessible primary healthcare at the community level and its decentralized governance.SAPCCHH leverages key opportunities in the state, including empowered local self-governments that are implementing democratic decentralization. Its success in tackling the COVID-19 pandemic and the Nipah virus offers valuable global insights on how health systems can be better prepared to address the health impacts of climate change across various levels. This collaborative governance model, which emphasizes local and decentralized governance, can play a vital role in mitigating the health impacts of climate change. In this paper, we examine how a decentralized health ecosystem can be instrumental in mitigating the health impacts of climate change, using Kerala's successful responses in the past.

However, recent carbon scandals and greenwashing controversies have exposed major integrity gaps. This review synthesizes evidence from academic research, regulatory reports, and case studies to analyze systemic weaknesses—such as fraudulent crediting, inflated baselines, lack of additionality, and unverifiable climate claims—that undermine the credibility and effectiveness of carbon offsetting. Poor governance, inadequate monitoring and verification (MRV), and limited accountability have triggered reputational and financial risks, diminishing trust in VCMs as legitimate climate finance mechanisms. To address these shortcomings, we propose a six-pillar reform framework comprising (1) transparency, (2) verification integrity, (3) accountability, (4) environmental and social safeguards, (5) smart technologies, and (6) strategic alignment with global goals. The framework is grounded in practical tools, including blockchain-enabled registries, AI-assisted MRV, rights-based standards, and legal mechanisms to improve credit quality and stakeholder confidence. We also evaluate emerging regulatory instruments—such as Article 6 of the Paris Agreement—and integrity initiatives aimed at harmonizing rules and preventing abuse. Drawing from real-world REDD + projects, we assess how digital innovations can support permanence, additionality, and leakage prevention, while also recognizing their limitations without institutional enforcement. Aligning carbon market reforms with broader sustainability and equity objectives can enhance co-benefits—such as biodiversity protection, air quality improvement, and community resilience—while supporting net-zero transitions and strengthening the legitimacy of post-2025 climate finance systems.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":33615,"journal":{"name":"Global Transitions","volume":"7 ","pages":"Pages 375-382"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144338509","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
