Abstract:
The Canary Islands Health Service is aware of the health risks arising from climate change. So health systems must be, with their action, part of the solution, not part of the problem. Currently, 4.4% of global carbon dioxide emissions come from activities related to the health field. To respond to this situation, the Canary Islands Health Service has launched the "Carbon Net Zer0 2030" strategy intending to achieve neutrality in net carbon emissions in the year 2030, applying measures direct and indirect, especially on the supply chain of the public health system. This is a ground-breaking project in Spain and is under continuous review, adding new specific actions to the strategy as the carbon footprint of the different procedures involved in the provision of health services is quantified.
