Health care mobilizes its ethical, economic, and political influence to create an ecologically sustainable, equitable, and healthy world.
Transform health care worldwide so that it reduces its environmental footprint, becomes a community anchor for sustainability, and a leader in the global movement for environmental health and justice.
1. Protect public health from climate change: Reduce health care’s carbon footprint, foster climate resilient health systems, mobilize the health sector to address climate change as a public health issue, and advocate for solutions that accelerate a transition to clean, renewable energy.
2. Transform the supply chain: Establish and globalize procurement criteria and leverage health care’s purchasing power to drive policies and markets for ethically produced, healthy, sustainable products and services.
3. Build leadership for environmental health: Inspire, mobilize and support health care’s leadership to promote environmental sustainability, human rights, and the right to health in order to achieve large-scale transformational change.
