Greener NHS

 

In 2020, the NHS became the world’s first health service to commit to reaching net zero carbon. Following this ambition, NHS organisations have been working to translate national ambition into local action - through the development of green plans. 

 

 

For the first time ever, the NHS will be able to announce that every NHS Trust now has a net zero strategy – a Green Plan – in place. That's all 212 Trusts. Together, these plans will save more than 1 million tonnes of carbon over the next three years – that’s the same as taking 520,000 cars off the road. 

It’s not just the environmental impact that matters; these plans work to deliver improved patient care, save lives, and reduce costs and waste.
