Strategic approach to achieving carbon reduction for the NHS in London - an enabling strategy

This strategy was developed jointly for the NHS in London by the Carbon Reduction Steering group, which includes regional and local government as well as NHS partners, and representatives from the Carbon Reduction Leads network.

The NHS in London's strategy has been developed as an enabling strategy in order to support NHS organisations in meeting emission reduction targets.

Its focus is where regional or cross-sector working can best support Trust's local activity and highlights where the NHS can play a role in promoting London as a low carbon world city. It sets out the case for action by the health sector and highlights the challenges faced by NHS organisations in meeting reduction obligations as well as further drivers for change such as health co-benefits, reputation and support for London as a low carbon city and the increasing cost of carbon.
