Sustainability

A sustainable health and care system works within the available environmental and social resources protecting and improving health now and for future generations. This means working to reduce carbon emissions, minimising waste & pollution, making the best use of scarce resources, building resilience to a changing climate and nurturing community strengths and assets.

In this section you will find a range of resources that supports the NHS, public health and social care system to maximise every opportunity to improve economic, social and environmental sustainability.
