Healthcare

Background

The healthcare sector is responsible for almost 5% of global greenhouse gas emissions, and has a carbon footprint equivalent to 514 coal-fired power plants. If the sector were a country, it would be the fifth largest polluter on Earth.

The health care industry is among the most carbon-intensive service sectors in the industrialized world.1 It is responsible for 4.4–4.6 percent of worldwide greenhouse gas emissions and similar fractions of toxic air pollutants, largely stemming from fossil fuel combustion.
