What we do
As Health Care Without Harm’s flagship network for sustainable healthcare, GGHH supports its vision to achieve a sustainable, low-carbon, resilient healthcare sector.
To protect health in a changing world, there is an urgent need for a healthcare agenda that addresses the climate crisis and plastics crisis together. This means building health systems that can adapt and respond to shocks and stresses while reducing emissions, eliminating unnecessary plastics, and forging a path toward climate-resilient, sustainable, and low-plastic healthcare.
The GGHH Roadmap presents a vision and journey for the network to collectively travel on to transform the healthcare sector. It focuses on four strategic action areas for members to commit to and act on: Natural resources, Infrastructure, Procurement, and Waste.
These represent opportunities to not only advance climate resilience and reduce plastics use and pollution, but also achieve outcomes that directly benefit the health of the people and planet.
The Global Green and Healthy Hospitals community has over 2,400 members in 88 countries who represent the interests of more than 70,000 hospitals and health centers.
