Event / Towards net zero series: embedding sustainability at The Royal Wolverhampton NHS Trust

The Department of Health acknowledges that the health and care system in England is responsible for an estimated 4-5% of the country’s carbon footprint and has a major role to play in achieving the UK carbon reduction target. The NHS has therefore committed to being the world’s first ‘net zero’ National Health Service by setting two targets:

· For the emissions we control directly (the NHS Carbon Footprint), we will reach net zero by 2040, with an ambition to reach an 80% reduction by 2028 to 2032;

· For the emissions we can influence (our NHS Carbon Footprint Plus), we will reach net zero by 2045, with an ambition to reach an 80% reduction by 2036 to 2039

Since 2010, The Royal Wolverhampton NHS Trust has engaged in a significant programme of activity to manage and reduce its carbon emissions, mitigate its impact on air pollution and improve recycling performance.

In this webinar, Janet Smith, head of sustainability at The Royal Wolverhampton NHS Trust covers:

• the sustainability journey at The Royal Wolverhampton NHS Trust
• the tools used to help embed sustainability across the organisation (including the crib sheet and sustainability tracker)
• the barriers and how these may be overcome
• lessons learned
