Organized by Health Care Without Harm and its Global Green and Healthy Hospitals (GGHH) program, this webinar will present the findings and recommendations from the Health Care Without Harm report on Health care’s climate footprint and showcase the innovative solutions that members of the GGHH network are implementing around the world to take climate action and reduce the climate footprint of the health care sector.

From antibiotic stewardship and infection prevention and control measures, to wastewater treatment and procurement practices, healthcare facilities have a vast range of tools at their disposal to combat AMR. It remains clear, however, that if no effective action is taken, AMR will increasingly damage public health and place a greater burden upon already strained healthcare budgets.^₇

Health Care Without Harm and GGHH are pleased to announce the Health Care Climate Challenge has reached several important milestones that demonstrate the commitment of the health care sector to play a key role in addressing climate change and advocating for a healthy planet.
