Sustainable Healthcare for all Generations 

In a groundbreaking initiative, healthcare systems worldwide are taking a stand against climate change by adopting the ambitious goal of achieving NetZero emissions. This bold move aims to address the critical condition known as ‘hyperCO2emia’ within healthcare processes and systems, characterized by excessive CO2 equivalent (CO2e) emissions.

HyperCO2emia in healthcare mirrors the human condition of hypercapnia, where an individual’s bloodstream contains high levels of CO2, leading to symptoms like breathlessness, dizziness, and fatigue. Similarly, hyperCO2emia refers to the accumulation of CO2e emissions in a healthcare system, contributing to climate change and adversely affecting population health.

The Healthcare NetZero initiative is not just about reducing emissions; it’s a comprehensive approach to promoting both populational and planetary health. By tackling hyperCO2emia, healthcare providers aim to prevent the exacerbation of climate change and its harmful impacts on communities worldwide.

As healthcare systems embark on this mission, they set an example for other sectors. The journey to NetZero is challenging but necessary, and the healthcare industry’s commitment is a significant step towards a healthier planet and a sustainable future.
