Health Care’s Climate Footprint Report HCWH / ARUP

Health Care’s Climate Footprint: How the Health Sector Contributes to the Global Climate Crisis and Opportunities for Action.

This report co-produced by Health Care Without Harm and Arup is useful because it:

• Establishes the first global estimate of healthcare's climate footprint. (If the healthcare sector were a country, it would be the fifth-largest greenhouse gas emitter on the planet)
• Identifies the key sources of healthcare's care's carbon missions and allows for comparisons between countries and regions
• Makes recommendations on what must be done to align global health and climate goals
