Our Climate. Our Health. YourCH Climate Action Plan
1 July 2023
Climate change has been described as the biggest threat to public health around the world.
This is why Your Community Health (YourCH) is taking action to prevent climate-related illness and reduce health impacts.
Our new Climate Action Plan details how we will:
- Teach our community about the health effects of climate change
- Look into our own emissions and aim for net zero emissions by 2030
- Push for the healthcare sector to lower greenhouse gas emissions
- Update our health centres so they are more energy and water efficient
- Reduce our waste and and do more recycling
- Replace regular vehicles in our fleet with electric vehicles
- Reduce the impact of staff and client commuting
- Use suppliers who have sustainable and net zero emissions medical equipment
- Make environmental sustainability part of all of our business planning.
