Health Care Climate Challenge

With a mission to heal, health care has an opportunity to use its ethical, economic, and political influence to be a climate leader.

Health care can help forge a future with healthy hospitals and healthy people by implementing transformative climate solutions that reduce harmful pollution and strengthen resiliency. The Health Care Climate Challenge is building a global coalition of health care institutions at the forefront of this transformation.

The Health Care Climate Challenge is an initiative of Health Care Without Harm that engages and equips health care institutions –from small clinics to large health systems to ministries of health– to commit to effective climate action while building collective impact across countries and across borders. Through the Health Care Climate Challenge Awards, it recognizes outstanding members who excel in the three pillars of climate action: mitigation, resilience, and leadership.

Each and every institution, no matter the size or location, has an important role to play. By building resilience at the facility, system, and community level, leading health care climate action, and mitigating their carbon footprint, each member will contribute to building a climate-smart and healthy future for all.
