At the UN Climate Conference in Brazil, The Lancet announced an exciting new initiative: the Lancet MedZero.<\/p>\n

Launching in early-2026, the Lancet MedZero will provide health professionals with robust data on the carbon footprints of pharmaceuticals, medical and surgical devices, diagnostic services, and care pathways.<\/p>\n

The Lancet MedZero will serve as a one-stop global platform for robustly evaluating the carbon footprint of healthcare, operating at pace, scope, and scale. Designed for time-poor clinicians, procurement and sustainability professionals, and health policymakers, the user-friendly interface will provide granular carbon data of every part of the clinical pathway. Users will be able to adjust underlying assumptions, allowing footprints to be tailored to specific clinical contexts.<\/p>\n
