Resolution 228 of 2026 represents a significant milestone for the healthcare sector, establishing the mandatory integration of climate change into the risk management frameworks of both public and private entities within the industry.
This regulation drives institutions to design and execute plans that enable them to anticipate and manage the potential impacts of climate change on their operations. It promotes informed and effective decision-making to guarantee continuity in service delivery.
At Marsh, we support the healthcare sector in implementing this new regulation, providing guidance in risk identification and analysis, impact quantification, and the design of climate change risk management strategies that strengthen the operational resilience of companies.
Rodrigo Suarez, Climate and Sustainability Practice Leader at Marsh Colombia, highlights: “The key lies in understanding that this is not just about regulatory compliance; it is about embedding climate change into the organizational strategy. This allows organizations to anticipate scenarios, mitigate impacts, and protect both operations and patient care.”
Resolution 228 is an opportunity for healthcare organizations to move toward comprehensive management, aligning regulatory compliance with sustainability and service continuity—which is the ultimate goal for the sector, its businesses, clients, and patients.
We have developed a practical guide to help all industry stakeholders understand the main points of this resolution and how to implement it effectively within their organizations. Download the guide here.
