From individual pharmaceuticals to entire health systems, researchers around the world are working to assess the environmental impacts of different aspects of healthcare. HealthcareLCA is a publicly-accessible repository of healthcare-related life cycle assessments (LCA), which include individual pharmaceuticals and health systems. The LCAs evaluate global warming potential, and other environmental and health impact categories. This is a useful resource to guide the alignment of procurement with a low-carbon pathway.
