Abstract

The carbon emissions of global health care activities make up 4-5% of total world emissions, placing it on par with the food sector. Carbon emissions are particularly relevant for health care because of climate change health hazards. Doctors and health care professionals must connect their health care delivery with carbon emissions and minimize resource use when possible as a part of their obligation to do no harm. Given that reducing carbon is a global ethical priority, the informed consent process in health care delivery must change. I argue that the expanded role of bioethicists in this climate crisis is to promote and support "green informed consent:" the sharing of climate information with patients, offering options for lower-carbon health care, and accepting the patient's right to decline treatments which are deemed too carbon intensive for their values.

在教室、诊所和诊室开展 "绿色知情同意 "活动。
全球医疗保健活动的碳排放量占世界总排放量的 4-5%,与食品行业不相上下。由于气候变化对健康的危害,碳排放与医疗保健尤为相关。医生和医疗保健专业人员必须将他们的医疗保健服务与碳排放联系起来,并尽可能减少资源的使用,这是他们不造成伤害的义务的一部分。鉴于减少碳排放是全球伦理的优先事项,医疗保健服务的知情同意程序必须改变。我认为,在这场气候危机中,生命伦理学者应发挥的更大作用是促进和支持 "绿色知情同意":与患者分享气候信息,提供低碳医疗保健的选择,并接受患者拒绝接受被认为对其价值观而言碳密集度过高的治疗的权利。

期刊介绍: Medicine, Health Care and Philosophy: A European Journal is the official journal of the European Society for Philosophy of Medicine and Health Care. It provides a forum for international exchange of research data, theories, reports and opinions in bioethics and philosophy of medicine. The journal promotes interdisciplinary studies, and stimulates philosophical analysis centered on a common object of reflection: health care, the human effort to deal with disease, illness, death as well as health, well-being and life. Particular attention is paid to developing contributions from all European countries, and to making accessible scientific work and reports on the practice of health care ethics, from all nations, cultures and language areas in Europe.
