📝 gxceed 編集解説 — Why this matters
日本のGX文脈において
獣医療分野は日本でも環境対応が進むが、本論文は具体的なエネルギー転換策を提示しており、業界団体や病院経営者にとって参考となる。ただし日本固有の政策文脈（SSBJ等）との関連は薄い。
In the global GX context
This paper offers a sector-specific decarbonization roadmap for veterinary practices, complementing broader global climate action frameworks (e.g., TCFD, ISSB) by addressing operational emissions in a service industry. Its practical strategies are relevant for any healthcare setting seeking to align with net-zero targets.
👥 読者別の含意
🔬研究者:Provides a structured framework for studying sector-specific energy transition in veterinary medicine and healthcare.
🏢実務担当者:Offers actionable strategies for veterinary hospitals to reduce energy costs and emissions while improving resilience.
📄 Abstract（原文）
Abstract Energy use is a major driver of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in veterinary practice, primarily through consumption of fossil fuel–generated electricity and heating, client travel, staff commute, and the extensive supply chain of healthcare products. Here we synthesize information on these key emission sources, outline the scientific and economic rationale for decarbonizing energy use and present 6 scalable strategies for reducing energy-related emissions in veterinary hospitals: procuring 100% renewable low-carbon electricity, electrifying clinical operations and infrastructure, reducing transport-related emissions, improving hospital energy efficiency, installing on-site renewable energy generation and storage, and addressing emissions from procurement and delivery. Together, these interventions provide a structured pathway for reducing emissions from veterinary practice while strengthening operational resilience, supporting long-term financial sustainability, and advancing the profession’s role in protecting the health of animals, people, and the environments they share, consistent with a One Health approach.
