BOOK HIGHLIGHT

LEADING ON CLIMATE CHANGE: HOW HEALTHCARE LEADERS STOP GLOBAL WARMING

Hospitals and health systems contribute 10% of the greenhouse gas emissions from the United States. Particulate emissions from fossil fuels kill 8 million people annually today. The impacts of climate change will kill many more and lead to terrible health impacts for an even larger number.

Climate change is a disaster for human health.

This book first informs healthcare leaders about the issues and how their industry is being pressured to respond by investors, workers, customers, and the government. Then it looks at how other industries are taking climate action, and finally, how health systems across the United States can effectively lower their emissions and become leaders in driving down emissions of their whole community.

ESG FINANCIAL STRATEGY
The largest source of investment dollars is now in ESG investing. That means that health systems' for-profit partners who need to demonstrate their sustainability to the markets will be pressuring health systems to change. It also means that the debt investors who buy our bonds will be demanding to see our own emissions reduction work.
