在纽约气候周上讨论气候健康关系 & UNGA78

加强卫生系统的复原力、可持续性和公平性

From the lasting impacts of COVID-19 to the mounting impacts of the environment on population health, health systems around the world are under-resourced and overburdened. Climate-related deaths are growing, with air pollution alone responsible for nearly 700万人死亡⁶ per year globally and the number of heat-related deaths projected to 到2050年翻三倍⁷ 没有重大行动. 非传染性疾病——如心脏病, cancers, respiratory illnesses – and infectious diseases linked to environmental factors are both rising rapidly, 儿童等弱势群体, 低收入社区, older populations and those with underlying health conditions most affected.

To ensure that health systems are fit to respond to the needs of today and tomorrow, we’re committed to working toward a future where health systems are:

• Resilient and able to adapt and respond to both current needs and future shocks;
• Equitable, ensuring everyone has the opportunity to live their healthiest life; and
• Net zero, improving health outcomes while limiting the environmental impact of care.
  

卫生部门内外的合作至关重要, 推动大规模行动的公私伙伴关系也是如此.

减轻澳门葡京赌博游戏对环境的影响

At the heart of the healthcare sector is improving health and saving lives, 但同时, the sector is also a significant contributor to the climate crisis - approximately 5% of global greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) are attributed to the healthcare sector.⁸

在澳门葡京网赌游戏, 澳门葡京赌博游戏正在采取大胆的气候行动, recognising the deep connection between healthy people and a healthy planet. 通过澳门葡京赌博游戏的旗舰10亿美元 零碳雄心 programme and $400 million commitment to plant and maintain 200 million trees by the end of 2030 through AZ Forest, we are working to halve our absolute emissions by 2030 and achieve science-based net zero by 2045 at the latest.

To do this, 澳门葡京赌博游戏正在最大限度地提高能源效率, 转向可再生能源, and investing in nature-based removals to compensate for any residual footprint. We’re making good progress, so far we’ve achieved the following, all from a 2015 baseline:

• 缩小范围1&2 .温室气体排放量减少59.3%
• 用水量减少18%.7%
• 减少浪费18%.6%

作为澳门葡京赌博游戏绿色转型的一部分, we’re forging innovative new partnerships with renewable energy companies to provide 将清洁的热能输送到美国和英国，这也有助于循环经济.^9,10,11

在气候周和联合国大会期间, 最佳实践, learnings and examples from public-private partnerships around the world will show the transition to sustainable, equitable, 有复原力的卫生系统是可以实现的. The progress made in these forums will be critical steppingstones on the road to the first-ever health day at COP28.
