Health 100 – Decarbonising the NHS
In October 2020, the NHS became the world’s first health service to commit to reaching carbon net zero, in response to the profound and growing threat to health posed by climate change.
The “Delivering a Net Zero Health Service” report provides a detailed account of the NHS’ modelling and analytics underpinning the latest NHS carbon footprint, trajectories to net zero and the interventions required to achieve that ambition.
The NHS is responsible for 5% of carbon emissions in the UK and estate emissions comprise approximately 15% of the total NHS carbon emissions profile. With the NHS operating over 1,000 hospitals and primary and tertiary buildings – the demand for net zero is significant within the sector.
As we look to the future and imagine what the NHS will look like at 100, we know that transitioning to a net zero health system won’t be easy and will require a consistent focus. This will include many interventions, including overhauling fleet, reducing emissions, reducing single use plastics, shifting modes of transport and much more.
At Decarbonising the NHS delegates will hear a synopsis of why the NHS needs to change and hear case studies on how the NHS is becoming greener. This conference will examine progress of ongoing initiatives, whilst dissecting the aspirations to deliver a net zero NHS.
With a focus on all post conference insight leading to stimulated action. It is hoped this event will enable stakeholders to review progress and aims to increase the level of ambition with a view to achieving excellence.
