The healthcare sector accounts for roughly 5% of global emissions. Efforts to reduce this footprint include transitioning to low-GWP propellants in inhalers, improving cold storage energy efficiency, and installing on-site solar power at medical facilities. Beyond direct energy use, the industry is targeting supply chain emissions and reducing patient transport through digital health services. These changes aim to lower the sector's environmental impact while mitigating the long-term health costs associated with climate change.
