2021年在英國格拉斯哥所召開的《聯合國氣候變化綱要公約》(United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, UNFCCC;下稱UNFCCC)第26屆締約方大會(Conference of Parties, COP26;下稱COP26)是聯合國首次將醫療體系納入氣候變遷工作計畫,是醫療體系實踐氣候行動的重要起點。COP26醫療倡議醫療體系必須朝氣候智慧轉型,並制定實現淨零排放路徑,以便建立氣候復原力並實現全球健康目標。Health Care Without Harm與Arup所提出,制定全球第一份健康照護體系的零排放指南。個案醫院依據《氣候相關財務揭露建議》(Recommendations of the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures,以下簡稱TCFD),重新檢視與評估氣候風險機會項目,以建構具氣候韌性的醫療體系、逐步朝低碳化、2050年排放之目標擬訂減緩及調適作為如下:進行溫室氣體盤查、能源效率優化、積極拓展再生能源、減少廢棄物、實踐永續綠色採購、推動綠色運輸、打造黃金級綠建築、提升員工ESG知能等。藉以深化ESG各領域永續行動來創造醫療新價值,提供更具有「韌性、 共融和綠色」之醫療特色服務,達到永續共好之目標。
COP26 is an important milestone for the healthcare system to implement climate action. It advocates: Building a climate-smart healthcare system. Commitment 1:Build a climate-resilient healthcare system. Commitment 2:Build a sustainable low-carbon healthcare system. Healthcare systems must transform to be climate smart and chart a path to net-zero emissions in order to build climate resilience and achieve global health goals. Health Care Without Harm and Arup proposed to develop the world's first zero-emission guidelines for health care systems. Three Pathways: Pathway 1 achieves decarbonization of medical services, facilities and operations, Pathway 2 achieves decarbonization of the medical supply chain, and Pathway 3 accelerates decarbonization in the broader economy and society. Seven actions(Actions):use 100% renewable energy, invest in zero-carbon buildings and facilities, zero-carbon sustainable travel and transportation, provide healthy and sustainably produced food; encourage the implementation of circular medicine and sustainable medical waste management, and improve hygiene System efficiency. Case hospitals shoulder the mission of promoting sustainable development. Based on TCFD, case hospitals reexamine and evaluate climate risk opportunity projects to gradually move towards low-carbon and 2050 emission goals. Our hospital has formulated mitigation and adaptation measures as follows: conducting greenhouse gas inventory, optimizing energy efficiency, reducing waste, practicing sustainable procurement, promoting green transportation, improving employee ESG knowledge, etc. By deepening sustainable actions in various fields of ESG to create new medical value, provide more "resilient, inclusive and green" medical services, and achieve the goal of sustainable common good.
