In conjunction with Climate Week NYC 2023, an annual event organized by The Climate Group that takes place in New York City from September 17-24, and coincides with the United Nations General Assembly, Health and Global Policy Institute (HGPI) endorses and cooperates in the online petition campaign launched by Green Practice Japan. Climate Week NYC, considered the biggest global climate event of its kind, brings together international leaders from business, government, and civil society to showcase global climate action. The petition campaign, which started on August 22, 2023, calls for a “Net Zero Declaration in Healthcare: To protect lives from heatstroke and heavy rainfall disasters caused by the climate crisis, the Japanese government should declare net zero greenhouse gas emissions in the healthcare sector by 2050.”
This signature campaign aims to raise awareness of the impact of climate change on human health and calls on the Japanese government to establish a resilient healthcare system against climate change and declare net-zero greenhouse gas emissions in the healthcare sectors by 2050. Furthermore, the petition appeals for healthcare professionals to take a leadership role in addressing global warming and contribute to building a sustainable society.
The organizers of this campaign, Green Practice Japan, advocate for environmentally sustainable healthcare based on the Green Practice concept.
