International comparison of health care carbon footprints
Climate change confronts the health care sector with a dual challenge. Accumulating climate impacts are putting an increased burden on the service provision of already stressed health care systems in many regions of the world. At the same time, the Paris agreement requires rapid emission reductions in all sectors of the global economy to stay well below the 2 °C target. This study shows that in OECD countries, China, and India, health care on ave…
Evaluating Health Co-Benefits of Climate Change Mitigation in Urban Mobility
There is growing recognition that implementation of low-carbon policies in urban passenger transport has near-term health co-benefits through increased physical activity and improved air quality. Nevertheless, co-benefits and related cost reductions are often not taken into account in decision processes, likely because they are not easy to capture. In an interdisciplinary multi-model approach we address this gap, investigating the co-benefits res…
Health Through Socioecological Lenses—A Case for Sustainable Hospitals

We conducted research in environmental history with students from a technical secondary school. Some participants of the project Our Environment Has a History probably doubted the feasibility at the outset of this transdisciplinary project in 2008. After two years' work we discuss the challenges of the project, i.e., the role definitions and cultural differences in the conception of knowledge, research and learning between school and academia, an…
Sustainable Hospitals: A Socio-Ecological Approach
Although sustainable development is closely interrelated with health and health promotion, in health care systems these themes are hardly ever discussed and even more rarely implemented in combination. We see opportunities for sustainable development and health promotion, particularly in hospitals, since they play a central role in health care systems. Furthermore, hospitals have significant and growing economic, social, and environmental impacts…
