assinar o compromisso<\/a> h\u00e1 dois anos, foi um passo natural\", afirmou Phil Oliveira, Vice-Presidente de Estrat\u00e9gia e Log\u00edstica da Cadeia de Abastecimento e L\u00edder de Sustentabilidade a n\u00edvel executivo na Southcoast Health. \"Durante anos, muitos dos nossos esfor\u00e7os t\u00eam-se concentrado na redu\u00e7\u00e3o do nosso impacto ambiental. Agora que faltam apenas seis anos para 2030, estamos entusiasmados com o desafio de alcan\u00e7ar o nosso compromisso de redu\u00e7\u00e3o de 50% das emiss\u00f5es de carbono.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\nDesde que assumiu este compromisso, a Southcoast Health est\u00e1 a concentrar-se em liderar esta conversa em todo o sector. Ao avaliar os dados de emiss\u00f5es do sistema de sa\u00fade, colaborando com o Gabinete de Altera\u00e7\u00f5es Clim\u00e1ticas e Equidade na Sa\u00fade (OCCHE) do Departamento de Sa\u00fade e Servi\u00e7os Humanos dos EUA, e outros sistemas de sa\u00fade, parceiros de aprovisionamento estrat\u00e9gico e a comunidade, o seu objetivo \u00e9 permitir uma maior reflex\u00e3o e inspirar ac\u00e7\u00f5es no sentido de uma menor pegada de carbono.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Uma declara\u00e7\u00e3o de consenso de setembro de 2021 de mais de 200 revistas m\u00e9dicas considerou as altera\u00e7\u00f5es clim\u00e1ticas como a principal amea\u00e7a \u00e0 sa\u00fade p\u00fablica mundial. Ele exp\u00f5e milh\u00f5es de pessoas nos Estados Unidos a danos todos os anos - com impactos desproporcionais nas comunidades que muitas vezes j\u00e1 s\u00e3o v\u00edtimas de discrimina\u00e7\u00e3o de longa data - por meio de aumentos em ondas de calor extremas, inc\u00eandios florestais, inunda\u00e7\u00f5es, doen\u00e7as transmitidas por vetores e outros fatores que pioram as condi\u00e7\u00f5es cr\u00f4nicas de sa\u00fade. O sector dos cuidados de sa\u00fade tamb\u00e9m contribui para as altera\u00e7\u00f5es clim\u00e1ticas, sendo respons\u00e1vel por cerca de 8,5% das emiss\u00f5es dom\u00e9sticas dos EUA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Em 2023, a Southcoast Health quantificou as suas emiss\u00f5es em 19 304 toneladas de CO2e, uma redu\u00e7\u00e3o de 15 por cento em rela\u00e7\u00e3o ao pico de emiss\u00f5es de 2011, que foi de 22 761 toneladas de CO2e.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
No in\u00edcio desta primavera, a Southcoast Health foi reconhecida pela OCCHE por sua lideran\u00e7a nesta \u00e1rea e Nicole Rosa, Diretora de Sustentabilidade, Log\u00edstica da Cadeia de Suprimentos e Gest\u00e3o de Programas da Southcoast Health, foi convidada a apresentar como mentora na sess\u00e3o de break out do HHS Office of Climate Change and Health Equity Catalytic Program em 14 de mar\u00e7o de 2024. Apresentando-se no evento, ela compartilhou sua experi\u00eancia na avalia\u00e7\u00e3o de projetos em rela\u00e7\u00e3o \u00e0 Lei de Redu\u00e7\u00e3o da Infla\u00e7\u00e3o (IRA) e expressou como a promessa do HHS se alinha intimamente com a miss\u00e3o e os valores da Southcoast Health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"Assinar o compromisso clim\u00e1tico fez muito sentido para n\u00f3s\", afirmou. \"J\u00e1 t\u00ednhamos uma consci\u00eancia ambiental e sentimos que era uma extens\u00e3o natural dos nossos esfor\u00e7os actuais. A nossa vis\u00e3o \u00e9 expandir as nossas parcerias com outras organiza\u00e7\u00f5es para limitar os danos das altera\u00e7\u00f5es clim\u00e1ticas nos nossos bairros, bem como no sector dos cuidados de sa\u00fade em geral.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n
O Gabinete de Altera\u00e7\u00f5es Clim\u00e1ticas e Equidade na Sa\u00fade (OCCHE) do HHS, que faz parte do Gabinete do Secret\u00e1rio Adjunto para a Sa\u00fade, desenvolveu o Compromisso Clim\u00e1tico do Setor da Sa\u00fade da Casa Branca\/HHS para ajudar a centrar a resposta da ind\u00fastria aos desafios clim\u00e1ticos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At\u00e9 \u00e0 data, 139 empresas de sa\u00fade proeminentes nos EUA assinaram o Compromisso Clim\u00e1tico do Setor da Sa\u00fade da Casa Branca\/HHS, incluindo organiza\u00e7\u00f5es que representam 943 hospitais, bem como centros de sa\u00fade l\u00edderes, fornecedores, companhias de seguros, organiza\u00e7\u00f5es de compras em grupo, empresas farmac\u00eauticas e muito mais. Em conjunto, isto significa que mais de 1.180 hospitais federais e do sector privado assumiram esses compromissos, representando em conjunto mais de 15% dos hospitais dos EUA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
