A Literature review on Decarbonizing Healthcare Firms to Improve Environmental Performance

Sushil Kumar Pradhan, Ashok Kumar Sar

One of the biggest worldwide dangers to human health and well-being is climate change. Currently, the healthcare sector itself is a major contributor to climate catastrophe due to its emissions and resource use. There has been a lot of study on how to minimize hospitals' ecological and carbon footprints, but comparatively little research on how to help medical clinics migrate to a carbon-neutral healthcare system. A thorough literature study was carried out and four critical areas that must be addressed in order to effectively decarbonize a medical clinic were identified. These include energy consumption, waste minimization and management, employee attitudes and behaviors, and supply chain decarbonization.
