Welcome to Year in Review 2024

As we wrap up another year, we’re proud to celebrate the incredible progress made by the Canadian Coalition for Green Health Care. This year has been nothing short of transformative, and it’s all thanks to the dedication and collaboration of our members, supporters, and partners. Together, we’ve achieved remarkable milestones that are driving sustainable health care forward.

We are going into the new year with the launch of three new multi-year projects, each designed to advance sustainability and resilience within Canada’s health care system. These initiatives mark a significant step toward achieving our collective goal of a greener future for health care.

Take a look at the infographic below to see some of the key milestones from this year. Here’s to continued progress in 2025!

Preparing Canada’s Health Care Buildings for Net-Zero

The Government of Canada has awarded the Canadian Coalition for Green Health Care funding for a three-year project dedicated to preparing health care facilities to cut emissions. We will provide networking opportunities and create educational resources that will accelerate the readiness of the Canadian health care workforce and leadership to undertake climate change mitigation initiatives within health care buildings.

Healthy Capital: Sustainable Investment for Hospital Foundations 

The Canadian Coalition for Green Health Care, in partnership with the Trottier Family Foundation, PEACH, Quinn+Partners, and Canada Climate Law Initiative, is excited to launch a project focused on building capacity in sustainable investment practices for hospital foundation boards. By aligning investment portfolios with health-oriented missions, foundations can reduce healthcare’s carbon footprint, support resilient health systems, and leverage healthy capital to benefit generations to come.
