“Fostering Low-Carbon Healthcare in Europe” is a six month pilot project lead by Health Care Without Harm – Europe, that works with six hospital partners across the region, including several GGHH member,- to identify opportunities for reducing their environmental footprint from anesthetic gases.

A new report from the World Health Organization (WHO): “Promoting health: Guide to national implementation of the Shanghai Declaration”, includes Health Care Without Harm’s Global Green and Healthy Hospitals (GGHH) ten goal framework as an example of health promotion for sustainable development. The document features the GGHH Agenda Goals as a tool to make a greening transformation of the health care sector (see page 17).
