Recently, the HHS issued a challenge for US Healthcare systems to commit to reducing their GHG emissions by 50% by 2030 and 100% by 2050. Over 140 organizations have already signed on and are setting goals and motivated to make progress. However, many organizations are now grappling with, where do I begin? The first step, is to measure the organization’s own carbon footprint by completing a GHG inventory. A good inventory illustrates the information an organization needs to benchmark its impact, make an educated commitment, set achievable goals, and prioritize reduction efforts for greatest impact. This session will step through the measuring process, and give the attendees an understanding of the fundamentals of a GHG inventory, a clear list of action items to begin their own inventory, and the confidence to take the first step.
