日本語
気候変動は健康への脅威であり、医療システム自体も温室効果ガス排出源である。本研究ではケニア、南アフリカ、ジンバブエの医療施設で太陽光発電、高効率照明、冷蔵設備、冷媒代替、反射塗装、植樹、廃棄物分別などの炭素削減介入を実施。そのカーボンフットプリントと健康共同利益を評価した。手法は施設レベルのCO2排出分析、医療従事者への定性インタビューを含む。
English
Climate change threatens health, and healthcare systems are significant greenhouse gas emitters. This study evaluates carbon mitigation interventions (solar power, efficient lighting, refrigeration, refrigerants, reflective paint, tree planting, waste segregation) in health facilities in Kenya, South Africa, and Zimbabwe, along with health co-benefits. Methods include facility-level CO2 analysis and qualitative interviews with healthcare workers and stakeholders.

日本のGX文脈において
日本の医療機関も脱炭素化が進む中、本論文の実証事例は参考になる。特にSSBJ対応や医療施設の環境報告に役立つ知見を提供する。
In the global GX context
Healthcare sector emissions are globally significant. This paper provides empirical evidence on effective mitigation interventions with health co-benefits, informing healthcare decarbonization efforts under WHO climate and health frameworks and national climate commitments.
👥 読者別の含意
🔬研究者:Offers empirical data on carbon mitigation in healthcare facilities, combining quantitative emission analysis with qualitative insights.
🏢実務担当者:Provides practical guidance for healthcare facility managers on implementing cost-effective carbon reduction measures that also improve health outcomes.
🏛政策担当者:Supports policy development for greening healthcare systems, especially in low-resource settings, with evidence of co-benefits.
📄 Abstract（原文）
Climate change is a growing threat to health, and healthcare systems are themselves a meaningful source of greenhouse gas emissions. As part of the HIGH Horizons project, carbon mitigation interventions were implemented in selected healthcare facilities in Kenya, South Africa and Zimbabwe, including solar power systems, energy-efficient lighting and refrigeration, lower global-warming-potential refrigerants, reflective roof paint, tree planting and improved waste segregation. This deliverable D5.9 evaluates the carbon footprint of these interventions and the health co-benefits associated with them. The evaluation drew on three complementary evidence streams: an analysis of facility-level carbon dioxide emissions, qualitative in-depth interviews with healthcare workers and facility stakeholders in South Africa and Zimbabwe, and an expert key informant interview in Kenya.
