The climate crisis is the largest public health crisis of our time.
We joined leaders from around the world at COP28 to put health at the heart of climate action.
The science is clear: action is needed now to tackle the climate crisis – the largest public health crisis of our time. The detrimental health impacts of climate change on people and the planet are being increasingly felt, 包括慢性病和传染病的增加. 这是今天的紧急问题，而不是明天.
COP28, the United Nations Climate Change Conference, included an official 第28次缔约方会议卫生方案; including a climate-health ministerial and groundbreaking Health Day. This was a watershed moment to put health at the forefront of climate action.
We joined the health and climate community at COP28 to highlight the urgency of the climate-health crisis and share bold and scalable solutions to drive change across and beyond the health sector.
使医疗保健和卫生系统脱碳
The climate crisis is putting greater pressure on already stretched health systems and jeopardising the provision of basic healthcare. 矛盾的是, 对于一个以保持健康为目标的行业来说, 医疗保健部门是造成这一问题的原因之一, responsible for approximately 5% of global greenhouse gas emissions (GHG).1
紧急的, transformative action is needed to mitigate and adapt to climate change and protect the health of people, 社会与地球. 集体, we must rethink the delivery of healthcare and build resilient health systems that are more equitable and transitioning to net zero. 没有人做生意, 政府, 或者组织可以单独完成, 澳门第一赌城在线娱乐需要在速度和规模上共同努力.
由澳门第一赌城在线娱乐的首席执行官Pascal sooriot主持 可持续市场倡议(SMI)卫生系统工作组 是公私伙伴关系吗, recognised for its collective efforts to accelerate the decarbonsiation of health systems. 在第28届联合国气候变化大会之前 专责小组共享 how it is progressing renewable power sourcing models in China and India, and developing a framework to measure the environmental impact of medicines to decarbonise healthcare.
遵循科学成为净零
Our commitment to driving change across the health sector complements our commitment to progressing on our own bold climate and sustainability goals. 通过澳门第一赌城在线娱乐的旗舰 零碳雄心 programme, we are focused on delivering deep decarbonisation across our company:
- We are reducing emissions from our global operations and fleet (Scope 1 and 2) by 98% by 2026. Core to these emissions reductions is our energy transition to 100% renewables, 包括澳门第一赌城在线娱乐的创新 清洁供热伙伴关系 为澳门第一赌城在线娱乐在英国和美国的工厂供应绿色天然气.

- We’re also engaging across our value chain to measure and reduce our Scope 3 emissions. 例如，澳门第一赌城在线娱乐的工作 减少呼吸吸入器的碳足迹 is already underway and represents an important step towards achieving our 零碳雄心 goal.
- 澳门第一赌城在线娱乐是联合创始人 收敛, a collaborative supply chain initiative to accelerate 我的绿色实验室 certification of labs across our value chain. 于COP28公布, the initiative will harness the power of collective action to certify labs in alignment with the Race to Zero’s breakthrough outcome that 95% of all labs are 我的绿色实验室 certified at the highest level by 2030. 与…合作 我的绿色实验室，澳门第一赌城在线娱乐已经在植入一种文化 可持续的科学 across our organisation, with 100 lab spaces around the world 我的绿色实验室 certified.
通过个人和集体行动, the private sector has a critical role to play in limiting planetary warming in line with the Paris Agreement and making a positive difference to build a healthier future for everyone.
