HFHT Green Initiative
The Lancet Commission on Climate Change has identified climate change as both the greatest global health threat and opportunity of the 21st century. Healthcare is part of the threat as it is responsible for almost 5% of all of Canada’s emissions, but also poses an opportunity, as providing quality healthcare is very often low-carbon care. We invite you to join the Hamilton FHT Green Initiative. Since 2019, we have been summarizing the evidence, launching initiatives, delivering educational events, and creating many practical tools to share.
