| Core Tip |
Green Endoscopy is a relatively new concept with limited awareness and published articles to review. It would require multi-disciplinary approach to make green endoscopy possible and achieve zero endoscopy-related carbon emissions. The declaration by National Health Service from the United Kingdom to set a goal of zero carbon footprint by 2040 at United Nations climate change conference is one such effort. The joint consensus on practical measures for environmental sustainability and endoscopy is also a step forward, with many more societies set to publish guidelines on green endoscopy. The goal of carbon neutrality becomes essential in the context of climate change, which not only causes numerous damaging health impacts but also hinders the delivery of safe and effective healthcare. This vicious cycle of carbon emission causes health problems, which, when managed, causes further emissions. This demonstrates the link between healthcare and climate change, hence the need to make healthcare climate-smart. |
