Description: The global healthcare sector makes up a total of approximately 4.5% of all global carbon emissions, heralding significant opportunities for mitigation. Climate action driven by healthcare systems is paramount to protecting community health now and in the future. In 2017, the World Bank in collaboration with Health Care Without Harm introduced the “Climate-Smart Healthcare” approach, bridging the gap between adaptation, resilience, and mitigation in the healthcare sector and highlighting the strategic advantage of jointly implementing mitigation and resiliency efforts in health systems. Understanding the different facets of the healthcare sector’s climate footprint and subsequent evidence-based pathways for emission mitigation is key to mobilizing a Climate-Smart Healthcare approach in any system.
