摘要

气候变化对全球健康构成前所未有的挑战，医疗保健部门本身对温室气体排放的贡献很大。这一观点提出了一个创新的、适应性强的框架，可将可持续和气候友好型做法纳入不同经济背景下的医疗保健环境。我们研究了能源效率、废物管理、水可持续性、供应链优化、远程医疗和医疗保健中的亲生物设计。该框架提供了实施战略、跨领域气候创新，并探讨了气候智慧型医疗保健、卫生公平和全球可持续性之间的相互联系。我们的研究结果表明，实施气候智能型医疗保健可以显著减少碳排放，增强对气候相关健康威胁的抵御能力，并改善全球健康状况。我们的结论是，医疗保健部门可以从气候变化的重要贡献者转变为气候减缓和适应的领导者，创造一个更可持续、更有弹性和更公平的全球卫生系统。

Green hospitals: maximizing health and climate benefits globally

Climate change poses unprecedented challenges to global health, with the healthcare sector itself contributing significantly to greenhouse gas emissions. This perspective presents an innovative, adaptable framework for integrating sustainable and climate-friendly practices into healthcare settings across diverse economic contexts. We examine energy efficiency, waste management, water sustainability, supply chain optimization, telemedicine, and biophilic design in healthcare. The framework provides implementation strategies, cross-cutting climate innovations, and explores interconnections between climate-smart healthcare, health equity, and global sustainability. Our findings suggest that implementing climate-smart healthcare can lead to significant reductions in carbon emissions, enhanced resilience to climate-related health threats, and improved health outcomes globally. We conclude that the healthcare sector can transform from a significant contributor to climate change into a leader in climate mitigation and adaptation, creating a more sustainable, resilient, and equitable global health system.

期刊介绍： The Science of the Total Environment is an international journal dedicated to scientific research on the environment and its interaction with humanity. It covers a wide range of disciplines and seeks to publish innovative, hypothesis-driven, and impactful research that explores the entire environment, including the atmosphere, lithosphere, hydrosphere, biosphere, and anthroposphere. The journal's updated Aims & Scope emphasizes the importance of interdisciplinary environmental research with broad impact. Priority is given to studies that advance fundamental understanding and explore the interconnectedness of multiple environmental spheres. Field studies are preferred, while laboratory experiments must demonstrate significant methodological advancements or mechanistic insights with direct relevance to the environment.
