Abstract
With the goal of decarbonization and carbon neutrality in the health sectors of many countries by 2050, health professionals must implement systemic changes in clinical practice to reduce carbon use, whilst meeting equity targets and improving health outcomes. Sustainable healthcare practices address the socio-ecological determinants that undermine population health, intervene as early as possible in the disease process, deliver ‘lean’ healthcare pathways and reduce the ‘triple bottom line’ costs of healthcare provision, benefiting patients, populations, and the environment. Methods and tools to do this are available and physiotherapists can play a key role in improving health outcomes and achieving sustainable development goals.
