本レビューは、アジア太平洋地域の医療システムにおける気候変動へのレジリエンスと低炭素化を両立する「公正なエネルギー転換」に関する既存文献を体系的に収集・分析した。46件の文献から、電化、サービス提供、財政、ジェンダー・障害・社会的包摂（GEDSI）などのテーマが抽出され、エネルギー転換がユニバーサル・ヘルス・カバレッジや健康格差是正にも貢献する可能性が示された。ただし、ベストプラクティスの介入研究は限定的であり、標準化された指標による長期的データ収集の必要性が指摘されている。
English
This rapid scoping review systematically gathers and analyzes literature on the just energy transition for climate-resilient and low-carbon healthcare in the Asia-Pacific region. From 46 eligible documents, themes including electrification, service delivery, finance, and gender/disability/social inclusion (GEDSI) were identified. Evidence suggests multiple co-benefits such as strengthened universal health coverage and health equity, but best-practice interventions remain scarce, highlighting the need for standardized metrics and long-term implementation data.

📝 gxceed 編集解説 — Why this matters
日本のGX文脈において
日本では医療分野の脱炭素化がSSBJや有報のScope3開示にも関わる課題であり、本レビューはアジア太平洋の事例から医療機関のエネルギー転換の方向性を示す。特にGEDSI（ジェンダー・障害・社会的包摂）の視点は、日本の医療政策でも今後重要性が増すと考えられる。
In the global GX context
Globally, healthcare systems face pressure to decarbonize under frameworks like the Paris Agreement and emerging climate disclosure standards. This review synthesizes evidence from the Asia-Pacific region, emphasizing that a just energy transition in healthcare can yield co-benefits for climate resilience, universal health coverage, and equity—insights relevant to international policy and investment decisions.
👥 読者別の含意
🔬研究者:Highlights the need for standardized metrics and long-term data to evaluate healthcare energy transition interventions, pointing to research gaps in best-practice evidence.
🏢実務担当者:Provides an overview of existing approaches and co-benefits, helping healthcare facility managers justify investments in energy transition projects.
🏛政策担当者:Offers evidence that integrating justice and equity (GEDSI) into healthcare energy transition can support multiple policy goals, informing national decarbonization and health strategies.
📄 Abstract（原文）
Background Healthcare systems have a ‘double responsibility’ to build resilience to the impacts of climate change and to reduce their carbon footprint. Both goals require a transition away from fossil-fuel-based energy sources. This rapid scoping review of scientific and grey literature from the Asia-Pacific region identifies the existing state of knowledge and evidence of responses to the impacts of climate change on healthcare systems in relation to the energy transition, recognising justice in economic, social and gender issues – a ‘just energy transition’. Methods Peer-reviewed health-sector literature and grey literature from reputable health-sector sources was systematically gathered from 12 databases. Eligible documents investigated healthcare system resilience and sustainability related to the energy transition. A thematic analysis was used to extract and interpret data. Results Forty-six documents were eligible for inclusion. The discourse on the climate-energy-healthcare nexus was characterised under the following themes: low-carbon and climate-resilient healthcare (considered both separately and as dual primary goals), electrification, health service delivery, financial considerations, challenges, and gender equality, disability, and social inclusion (GEDSI) and community impacts. Among all 46 items captured in the literature, at least 17 pointed to the co-benefits of the just energy transition for universal health coverage and GEDSI. Conclusions The literature focusses mostly on proposals, plans and case studies; there is limited literature on best-practice interventions. The current literature suggests that energy transition interventions in healthcare have multiple benefits, including climate resilience, environmental sustainability, and strengthening universal health coverage. There is emerging evidence of benefits for gender and health equity. To strengthen research and to inform policy development, greater clarity in terminology is required along with more consistent collection of research and long-term implementation data according to standardised metrics for measuring health and GEDSI outcomes.
