6 Sustainable Health Preventive Healing Before one becomes a patient Take a bike to work and quit smoking Sustainable Healthcare Hospital Patient, healthcare staff Building, material, technology, effectiveness, indirect, direct Environmental Health Environmental impacts on human health Why do we become patients? Diseases caused by environmental impacts

7 Why should healthcare sector engage in environmental issues? - Laws and regulations, just like in any other industry - Public sector - credibility - First do no harm - Profitability reduced costs - Strong connection between health and environmental issues - Significant environmental impact - Approximately 9 % of GDP in Sweden and approximately 8 % in Denmark (15-17 % in USA )

8 Climate change & Healthcare The carbon footprint of the European healthcare sector is at least 5% of total EU s greenhouse gas emissions. For comparison: Direct emissions from aviation account for about 3% of the EU s total greenhouse gas emissions.

16 Organizations behind the innovation agenda:

17 Some of the findings Sustainable Healthcare has a significant export potential. Swedish sustainable healthcare is better known abroad than in Sweden. The Swedish home market is rather weak. In Sweden, many actors from the healthcare sector believe that the state procurement practices often favor big global companies. Purchasing organizations lack knowledge on how to procure sustainable solutions.

18 Innovation clusters, innovation centers etc. seldom have sustainability on their agenda. Cross-sectoral field with many interested parties, none of which owns the question. Weak connection with universities Interdisciplinary character. Lack of coordination and education. Many healthcare suppliers lack knowledge about healthcare, its operation, organization and technical issues. Sweden is a small country; we need a larger platform for collaboration.

19 R&D Aid NGO:s Nordic Center for Sustainable Healthcare (NCSH) Business Public Healthcare Private Healthcare

20 Vision - draft The countries/regions that participate in the Nordic Center for Sustainable Healthcare will benefit from a positive effect on their GDP, employment rates, export potential and growing income from tax.

22 A cross-sectoral arena for innovation, growth, export and knowledge exchange for the sustainable healthcare sector. Purpose: to establish Sweden, and Scandinavia in general, as a global Center of Excellence for sustainable healthcare. The arena is based on: An effective healthcare system that has achieved significant progress in terms of sustainability. Advanced businesses from GreenTech and Life Sciences. A broad network, national and international. Unique competence and solid international reputation.
