Twelve actions in healthcare to reduce carbon emissions
Publication Name
European Journal of Cardiovascular Nursing
Abstract
The pace of climate action is failing to meet the consequences of climate change and related environmental impacts. Globally, healthcare contributes 4% of carbon emissions, double that of the aviation industry. Often, >60% of healthcare emissions are derived from supply chain and procurement. Nurses comprise the single largest health workforce, it is therefore our moral imperative to act. We all have a responsibility to reduce, reuse, recycle, rethink, research, and advocate.
