UC Davis Health earns recognition for climate, sustainability efforts

UC Davis Health has been recognized by Health Care Without Harm and Practice Greenhealth for progress toward the White House/HHS Health Sector Climate Pledge, an effort focused on reducing greenhouse gas emissions and building more climate-resilient health care operations.

UC Davis Health received a badge recognizing its work to track direct and indirect Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions against a baseline and appoint an executive-level lead responsible for mitigation and adaptation efforts.

The recognition reflects UC Davis Health’s broader commitment to protecting patients, staff and the community while helping advance a more sustainable and resilient health care system.

Health Care Without Harm and Practice Greenhealth issue badges to pledge signatories to recognize measurable progress toward climate-smart health care goals. The groups congratulated UC Davis Health team members involved in the work and thanked the organization for its continued efforts.

By tracking emissions and strengthening leadership around climate mitigation and adaptation, UC Davis Health is taking important steps to support healthier communities and contribute to the global movement for equitable, sustainable health care.
