Abstract

In 2020, the NHS became the first health system in the world to commit to achieving net-zero emissions across all three of its scopes. For the NHS estate, this commitment was accelerated with an ambition to be net zero by 2040, with 80 per cent of that reduction delivered by 2032.

In this talk, Fiona will set out the strategic framework her team has established to deliver a net-zero NHS estate, alongside the practical steps they have taken so far to achieve these ambitions. She will also talk through the innovations and approaches they are exploring in preparation for achieving net zero.
