Climate Journey Map: Clinical Pathway
Addressing climate change and environmental sustainability is a fundamental component of successful health care transformation. While many health care organizations are currently grappling with tight margins, staffing shortages, and payment systems misaligned with sustainable practices, inaction by the health sector poses dire consequences to the well-being of patients and communities. This Journey Map provides clinicians, health care leaders, and health care workers with actions they can implement to enable sustainable health care transformation of their organizations and practices.

About
About the Clinical Journey Map
It is intended for any health care organization or worker, regardless of size, industry, or stage of their climate journey. However, it will be particularly useful for systems and persons who have yet to begin their efforts or have recently started to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, advance sustainability, and strengthen resilience.
Each stage of the journey map includes specific actions that need to be taken. The resources provided in the journey map will address those challenges and highlight actions to help organizations achieve their sustainability goals.
The journey map is circular, meaning organizations can revisit different stages to address regulatory, scientific, business, or other factors that develop while on their sustainability journey.
