Description: The HHS Office of Climate Change and Health Equity hosted this webinar on May 5, 2022 at 1:00-1:45PM ET to discuss the Health Care Sector Pledge Initiative to share more information about the initiative and provide an opportunity for webinar participants to ask questions. On April 22, 2022, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), in partnership with the White House, issued a call to action for health care stakeholders to commit to tackling the climate crisis through a new initiative aimed at reducing emissions across the health care sector. U.S. hospitals, health systems, suppliers, pharmaceutical companies and other industry stakeholders are invited to submit pledges to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and increase their climate resilience. The White House plans to host a convening in June to highlight health care sector progress in promoting climate actions.
