The sustainability imperative for the healthcare sector

By Michael Kipping, Michelle Sullivan, Peter Bannister and Rich Shaw2024-08-13T09:56:00

The World Health Organization (WHO) has stated that “climate change is the greatest challenge of the 21^st century, threatening all aspects of the society in which we live”. As the only industry with a healing mission, the healthcare sector has a unique opportunity and responsibility to address its carbon footprint. These are serious times, and all of us need to take personal responsibility for making changes to reduce wastefulness, convert to renewable power, maximise efficiency and focus on prevention. This article encourages the reader to look through a sustainability lens to see what can be done to transition to net zero.
