NHS 'set to miss 2040 net zero target without urgent action' Urgent action is “critical” to put the NHS on course to reach its 2040 net zero target, new research has warned.

In order to slash its emissions, including from its wider supply chain which makes up 62 per cent of the NHS's carbon footprint, greenhouse gases must be cut by 8 per cent a year from 2020 to 2036 – a rate far higher than its current 1 per cent yearly average. The Independent
