The health sector in Wales is responsible for the largest carbon emissions in the public sector with GP practices, community pharmacies, dental practices and optometric practices having an important role in reducing health sector emissions.
Wales now has legally binding targets to work towards set out in the Environment (Wales) Act 2016 of a goal of net-zero emissions by 2050 and an ambition for the public sector in Wales be net zero carbon by 2030. There is a target for Health and Social Care to deliver a reduction in emissions of 16% by 2025 and 34% by 2030.
One key step primary care settings can take is to calculate their current carbon footprint and identify ways in which they can reduce their energy use.
