The carbon footprint of healthcare settings: A systematic review
Journal of Advanced Nursing, Volume 79, Issue 8, Page 2830-2844, August 2023., 2023 Abstract Healthcare systems are responsible for 4%–5% of the emissions of greenhouse gases worldwide. The Greenhouse Gas Protocol divides carbon emissions into three scopes: scope 1 or direct emissions secondary to energy use; scope 2 or indirect emissions secondary to purchased electricity; and scope 3 for the rest of indirect emissions.

Implementing life cycle sustainability assessment for improved space mission design
Integrated Environmental Assessment and Management, Volume 19, Issue 4, Page 1002-1022, July 2023., 2023 Abstract Within the space sector, the application of Environmental Life Cycle Assessment (E‐LCA) is beginning to emerge as a credible and compelling method for scientifically quantifying environmental impacts of space missions. However, E‐LCA does not fully align with the concept of triple‐bottom‐line sustainability, while the combination of all three ...
