Sustaining a Healthy Future. Taking action on climate change. Special focus on the NHS (18th August 2009)
Climate change is arguably the greatest public health challenge facing us in the 21st century. With a carbon footprint of over 18 million tonnes of CO2 – more than some large cities – the NHS is the UK public sector’s biggest single carbon emitter. But in a joint-letter sent out to NHS managers today, the organisation is being told that with strong leadership and the right action it has the potential to make huge reductions and significant savings in lives and money.
