Rapid climate change has a direct impact on human health. These damaging effects arise from multiple causes, such as increased allergens, changes in the ecology of disease vectors and conflicts over resources. These risks to human health bear down heavily upon healthcare systems and their constituent organisations.

Ultimately, all healthcare stakeholders must act as stewards, forging a sector that benefits the whole population, healthy and sick. Logically, this would include acting to meet environmental goals, so that care no longer exacerbates the health problems that it will increasingly need to address.

Whilst recognising these immediate challenges, greater public awareness of the bigger picture would encourage support for health systems to reduce their emissions which, collectively, is a large step towards fostering wellness.

This white paper uses three cutting edge methods to quantify the emissions of the pharmaceutical industry and explores the actions it can take to address a rapidly changing climate.
