It was a double win for Bristol’s NHS trusts at the Energy Management Awards 🎉

Our Sustainability Team won the Decarbonisation Project Award and Matt Gitsham from @NorthBristolNHS walked away with Public Sector Energy Manager of the Year.

#NHS on track to achieve net zero carbon emissions. Climate change is the single largest threat to global health. Climate crisis = Health crisis. Great to see responsibility being taken and the future health of our patients being considered. @GreenerNHS @uhbwNHS #Sustainability

[NHS England @NHSEngland]

One year on from becoming the world’s first health service to commit to reaching net zero carbon emissions, we're on track.

By the end of the financial year the NHS will have reduced emissions by 1,260 kilotons — the equivalent of 1.7 million flights from London to New York. ✈️

📣Climate change poses a major threat to health. 1⃣ year ago, @NHSEngland became the world's 1st health service to commit to reaching net zero. Thanks to NHS people across the country we're on track to meet targets for a #greenerNHS–improving health now & for future generations.
