As the end of the year approaches, there’s no better time for a celebration. Health Care Without Harm is pleased to announce the 2022 Climate Champions of our Health Care Climate Challenge initiative. Hailing from over 15 countries, this year's cohort of champions includes more than 50 health care institutions who are creating climate-smart health care around the world. 

The awards recognize the work of these institutions across the three pillars of the Health Care Climate Challenge: mitigation, resilience and leadership. From reducing their climate footprint, to sourcing renewable energy to power their facilities, to collaborating with their communities to prepare for the impacts of climate change, these institutions are using their innovation, ingenuity and investments to protect people and the planet.

It is an honor to celebrate these institutions for their commitment and success. We look forward to showcasing their work and supporting and inspiring other hospitals and health systems to step up to take on the Health Care Climate Challenge.
