In the wake of COP28, a global push for decarbonization and resilience in healthcare gains momentum – and the healthcare sector, with its energy-intensive operations and substantial resource consumption, plays an important role in the trajectories of the current green transition.

Recognising the healthcare sector's role is imperative to ensure that healthcare systems evolve to become more resilient and less carbon-intensive, especially given the exacerbating effects of climate change on health, highlighting the urgent need for action. This urgent need is underscored with a new Declaration on Climate and Health, endorsed at COP28 by 124 countries.

The publication shares best practices, innovative solutions, and strategies across the healthcare sector, including the life science industry for reaching the ambitious climate goals of the Paris Agreement.

The Danish approach towards a sustainable healthcare sector has led to the implementation of a wide range of measures and visionary solutions aimed at reducing CO₂ emissions, all actively contributing to the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals, fulfilling the Paris Agreement's objective of limiting global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius, and not least meet the ambitious government target of climate neutrality by 2050.
