Primary healthcare’s carbon footprint and sustainable strategies to mitigate its contribution: a scoping review

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

The identification of sources of carbon hotspots in primary care is an essential precursor to enable the development of targeted decarbonization strategies. Decarbonizing primary care requires a multifaceted approach that addresses the underlying factors driving unsustainable practices. This would allow healthcare professionals to effectively balance the provision of high-quality patient care, while reducing their environmental impact, ultimately improving both human and planetary health.
