The Alliance for Transformative Action on Climate and Health (ATACH) Task Team launched the new guidance at the #COP30 Health Pavilion on 15 November 2025.<\/p>\n
The guidance has 2 aims<\/p>\n
- \n
- To define a common approach for health system emissions measurement that is aligned with international standards and best practice.<\/li>\n
- To set out how health systems can develop the necessary internal capabilities to measure their emissions consistently and effectively over time.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
\n\t\tFive-Stage Maturity Framework\n\t<\/h2>\n\t
To support implementation, the guidance introduces a five-stage maturity framework for\u00a0assessing and developing these capabilities. The stages are applied across six key dimensions of emissions measurement: base-year emissions definition; footprint modelling; data collection and management; monitoring and reporting; technology requirements; and aspects of emissions data governance.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t
![\"$17](\"https:\/\/medicine.nus.edu.sg\/cosm\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/34\/2025\/11\/17-for-this-image.png\" "\\"$17")
\n\tThe framework is a practical tool to guide self-assessment and drive continuous improvement of emissions measurement capabilities. This is not a one-size-fits-all approach, and it allows systems to identify the next appropriate meaningful step in developing GHG measurement.<\/p>\n
This report was co-led by the Centre for Sustainable Medicine at the National University of Singapore (Singapore), Greener NHS, NHS England (United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland) and the World Health Organization (WHO) Environment, Climate Change and Health Department (Switzerland).<\/p>\n
