Building back greener: what is healthcare's role in creating a sustainable future?
Net zero healthcare: a call for clinician action
Reducing carbon emissions should be integral to plans for universal health coverage because, even in LMICs, healthcare has a high carbon footprint. Our webinar looks at how we can continue to decarbonise healthcare and tries to identify potential pathways to net zero emissions. Health professionals are well positioned to effect change by reshaping individual practice, influencing healthcare organisations, and setting clinical standards. Our panel discusses priority setting and the trade-offs that clinicians, administrators, and global health policy makers should consider when evaluating interventions.
