Green Metro North – transition to clean, green, sustainable healthcare
Metro North Health’s Green Metro North Sustainability Strategy outlines its plan to achieve net zero emissions by 2050. This strategy includes reducing waste, using electric vehicles and transitioning hospitals to electric power. They’ll implement sustainable practices across buildings, food service, and water usage. The strategy includes requiring sustainable design in building projects, reducing nitrous oxide emissions, and involving staff in sustainability efforts. They’re also conducting climate risk assessments to ensure their infrastructure is resilient for the future.
