Abstract
La crisis climática puede ocasionar daños graves para la salud de las personas. El aumento generalizado de la temperatura en el planeta deriva en olas de intenso calor, sequías, inundaciones, aumento de enfermedades infecciosas transmitidas por vectores y eventos climáticos extremos que impactan de manera diversa en la salud pública global. Al mismo tiempo, el sector salud es uno de los mayores emisores de gases de efecto invernadero (GEI) a la atmósfera en el mundo, siendo sus emisiones un 4,4% del total. Las emisiones derivadas de las cadenas de suministro son las más importantes, y la mayoría derivan de la quema de combustibles fósiles. La huella de carbono (HC) de un proceso u organización es el conjunto de emisiones de GEI emitidas de manera directa o indirecta a la atmósfera. El cálculo de la HC en el sector salud es complejo por la gran cantidad de elementos que intervienen en sus procesos. Habitualmente, en el contexto sanitario se usan modelos híbridos de cálculo de HC que usan una mezcla de análisis input-output(AIO) y de análisis por procesos...
The climate crisis is a serious threat to public health. Widespread global temperature increases inevitably lead to intense heat waves, droughts, floods, increases in vector-borne infectious diseases and extreme weather events. These events have a significant impact on global public health. Concurrently, the health sector is one of the most significant contributors to global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, accounting for 4.4% of total emissions worldwide. Emissions from supply chains represent a significant environmental concern, with the majority of these emissions stemming from the combustion of fossil fuels. The carbon footprint (CF) of a process or organization is defined as the total greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions that are released directly or indirectly into the atmosphere. The calculation of the CF in the health sector is complex due to the large number of elements involved in its processes. In the healthcare context, hybrid CF calculation models that employ a combination of input-output analysis (IOA) and process analysis are typically utilized...
