Green Maternity Report

The Green Maternity Report has been published, setting out eight initial priorities and a series of evidence-based recommendations to support a more sustainable and equitable future for maternity care.

Drawing on case studies from the Green Maternity Challenge 2025, as well as lived experience insights and carbon modelling, the report provides a unique evidence base for reducing the environmental impact of maternity services while addressing health inequalities.

This work is part of the wider project “Taking collective action to deliver low carbon, equitable maternity care”, delivered by the Centre for Sustainable Healthcare (CSH) in partnership with the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists (RCOG), the Royal College of Midwives (RCM), and the Sustainable Healthcare Coalition (SHC), and sponsored by SBRI Healthcare.
