Reducing Carbon Emissions

Organisation: NHS EnglandGreener NHS

We were commissioned by the NHS England Greener NHS programme to lead the analytical planning and modelling of interventions to reduce carbon emissions across the NHS. Our work contributed significantly to the successful publication of Delivering a Net Zero National Health Service, which provided a detailed account of the modelling and analytics underpinning the latest NHS carbon footprint, trajectories to net zero and the interventions required to achieve that ambition.

The impact of our work

Following publication, we led the development of a Data and Metrics Framework to monitor the progress of actions taken, review the success of identified interventions, measure performance against net zero trajectories and identify priority areas for investment. The framework provided the basis for accountability at NHS Public Board.
