This report presents a decarbonisation roadmap for the national health system of Belgium. It has been prepared in alignment with the standardised methodology published by HCWH Europe and as part of the Operation Zero project.
HCWH Europe is proud to have partnered with the Belgian ministries of Environment and Health in the development of their report on the greenhouse gas emissions of the country’s health sector, as well as a decarbonisation roadmap.
The report was published as a result of the National Environment and Health Action Plan - a collaboration between the country’s federal, regional and community levels in the field of environment and health. It consists of three documents:
- Greenhouse Gas Emissions of the Belgian Health Care Sector: an overview of greenhouse gas emissions from the health sector in 2022, broken down into categories (including transport, energy consumption, and supply chain).
- Belgian Roadmap for Health Care Decarbonisation: a roadmap outlining decarbonisation pathways and carbon reduction interventions.
- Implementation Framework: recommendations around governance, progress monitoring and possible areas for action.
