本レビューは、アジア太平洋地域における医療システムの気候変動適応と脱炭素化のためのエネルギー転換に関する既存の知見を整理。46件の文献を分析し、低炭素化、気候レジリエンス、電化、サービス提供、資金調達、ジェンダー・社会的包摂などのテーマを抽出。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相乗効果をもたらす可能性が示唆される一方、標準化された指標や長期的データの不足が課題。
English
This rapid scoping review synthesizes evidence on the energy transition for climate-resilient and low-carbon healthcare in the Asia-Pacific. Analyzing 46 documents, it identifies themes such as electrification, service delivery, finance, and gender equality. Findings indicate co-benefits for universal health coverage and equity, but highlight the need for standardized metrics and long-term data.

📝 gxceed 編集解説 — Why this matters
日本のGX文脈において
本レビューは、アジア太平洋の医療分野におけるエネルギー転換の現状を包括的に示しており、日本国内の病院の脱炭素化やレジリエンス強化に関する政策立案に示唆を与える。特に、公正な移行（ジェンダー・社会的包摂）の視点は、日本のGX推進における社会的側面の重要性を再認識させる。
In the global GX context
This paper provides a framework for integrating just energy transition principles into healthcare climate action, relevant to global GX disclosures (e.g., ISSB S1 social aspects). It emphasizes the need for standardized metrics, which aligns with the push for consistent climate and social reporting under CSRD and TCFD.
👥 読者別の含意
🔬研究者:This review identifies gaps in empirical evidence and standardized metrics for just energy transition in healthcare, pointing to needed research on intervention effectiveness and long-term outcomes.
🏢実務担当者:Healthcare sustainability teams can use the co-benefits framing (e.g., universal health coverage, gender equity) to build business cases for energy transition investments.
🏛政策担当者:Policymakers should note the calls for clear terminology and data collection to align health, energy, and climate policies, especially for just transition considerations.
📄 Abstract（原文）
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’. 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. 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. 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. • An energy transition in healthcare will strengthen climate resilience and sustainability. • Access to clean electricity is fundamental to the just energy transition. • Co-benefits may include universal health coverage along with gender and health equity. • Concept clarification, standardised metrics, and long-term routine data are required to strengthen research and policy development.
