The Health Care Climate Challenge is an initiative by the Global Green and Healthy Hospitals (GGHH) Network to mobilise hospitals and health centres around the world to commit to emissions reduction targets. The Challenge and pledge are based on three main pillars of climate mitigation, resilience and leadership.
Any hospital, health system, or health organisation can join the Challenge for free. For non-GGHH members, signing up automatically results in membership to GGHH.
