The Christie Charity
Climate change has been widely recognised as one of the greatest threats to public health of the 21st century. Climate change, caused by human greenhouse gas emissions, is already harming people’s health and driving widespread losses and damages. There is a rapidly closing window of opportunity to secure a liveable and sustainable future for all.
On 1 July 2022, the NHS became the first health system to embed net zero into legislation, through the Health and Care Act 2022. The Delivering a ‘Net Zero’ National Health Service is now issued as statutory guidance. The NHS is leading by example globally and has set an ambitious target to reach Net Zero by 2040 for the emissions the NHS controls directly. It also aims to reach Net Zero by 2045 for the emissions the NHS has the ability to influence.
The Christie NHS Foundation Trust will support the NHS to become a net zero health service.
The Trust Board has approved The Christie Green Plan (2024 to 2027). This outlines the Trust rationale, aims, objectives, plans and priorities to support us on the transition to a net zero healthcare service.
