Health Care Without Harm and its strategic partners convened health care institutions from 17 countries around the world to share their stories of proven practices and step-by-step guidance for dramatically reducing greenhouse gasses while prioritizing patient care, health equity, and resilience. 

Their stories have been showcased in the Health Care Climate Learning Initiative: 38 case studies, featuring videos, photos, and graphics that illustrate their challenges, successes, and lessons learned on their journey to achieve net zero by 2050.

Get ready to be inspired by dozens of proven strategies you can apply at your facility.

The case studies feature innovative initiatives and projects focused on reducing anesthetic gases in the OR, tackling Scope 3 emissions through purchasing decisions, saving electricity and water, switching to less carbon-intensive fuels, producing renewable energy, finding new ways to process hazardous waste, and more.
