Strategic Area 1: Climate and health

Climate change and environmental degradation affect the health of the population, particularly the disadvantaged. For the HUG, the challenges are multiple :

• to anticipate the spread of diseases and how often they occur
• to adapt the infrastructure to climate change
• reduce the hospitals’ direct and indirect greenhouse gas emissions.

The HUG are committed to moving towards Net zero emission in hospital activities. In order to achieve this ambition, they intend to adopt a climate action plan and objectives for 2030 and 2050, in order to reduce their direct and indirect emissions and the impact of climate change on their activities and on healthcare.

• Adopt a climate action plan
• Renovate the last stage of the Maternity Hospital
• Integrate sustainability criteria into projects, especially major projects
• Install 4,200 m2 of additional solar panels
• Increase the green areas on the Cluse Roseraie site by 10%
• Reduce individual motorized transport by 10%
• Reduce emissions from air travel business trips by 50%
• Reduce anesthetic gas emissions by 70%
• Reduce the amount of drugs disposed of by 20%
