Healthcare professionals in France have until Sunday, September 20, to take part in the Great Health Consultation, an initiative organized by the Shift Project. This consultation explores the connections between health, climate, and energy. Launched in March, the project aims to gather insights from nurses, doctors, and pharmacists about energy and climate issues through an anonymous online questionnaire. The survey takes about fifteen minutes to complete and includes questions about the type and location of their work, climate-related events that affect their professional activities, and their views on global warming. The Health Insurance Fund, which is supporting the consultation, states that this is the largest survey of its kind in France, focusing on energy and climate issues within the healthcare sector. According to recent data from the Shift Project, 26,000 targeted healthcare professionals have already participated, including 12,400 nurses, 10,600 doctors, and 3,000 pharmacists. The findings from the consultation will be shared during a national event on November 3 and will also be distributed at the regional level by the end of the year. In 2023, the Shift Project estimated that the French healthcare system contributes 10% of the country’s greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Of this, more than half comes from the purchase of medicines and medical devices. The Shift Project highlights that healthcare professionals play a key role in reducing GHG emissions and adapting to climate change. Nurses, in particular, have opportunities to make environmental improvements in their daily routines. For example, they can participate in the Balance your waste campaign, which raises awareness about medication waste each year.
