Health Care & Climate Change: An Opportunity for Transformative Leadership
- Abstract
The reversal of climate change will pivot around fundamental realignments in the ways that energy is created and consumed. The report provides detailed guidelines and case studies to help hospital leaders and facilities’ staff develop comprehensive strategies to reduce their reliance on fossil fuels through the use of “clean technology.” Its overarching conclusion is built on the premise that the health sector has a critical role to play in helping lead the transition to a fossil fuel-free and sustainable economy.
