N2 - The healthcare system is the fifth largest emitter worldwide. In Europe, Germany as an economy and the German healthcare system produce by far the most emissions. This has a substantial negative impact on the health of the population in Germany, Europe and worldwide, increases the disability-adjusted life years (DALY) and leads to premature deaths. To reduce damages and negative health outcomes, Germany has committed itself through various treaties to become climate-neutral and to transform the healthcare system towards a net zero healthcare system by 2030. The article shows how this can be implemented and achieved in hospitals.
