Health impacts of climate change and role of the health sector in mitigating carbon emissions.

Summary: Climate change is a huge danger to our health. But surprisingly, hospitals and clinics actually cause 5% of the world's pollution! This happens because they use a lot of energy, transport supplies all over the world, and make lots of medicines. To protect our health now and in the future, the healthcare system needs to clean up its act. Doctors and hospitals can do this by using greener buildings, changing how they treat patients, and buying supplies in a smarter, cleaner way.
