Zusammenfassung
The climate crisis is threatening the health of current and future generations and represents a particular challenge for healthcare systems. To address man-made climate change, comprehensive adaptation and mitigation strategies are crucial. Medicine and ophthalmology offer various opportunities to reduce the CO2 (carbon dioxide) footprint - these should be implemented and politically encouraged. Data-driven sustainability tools may provide options to evaluate the environmental footprint and to initiate optimization strategies. Life cycle assessments are an approach to systemically measure the environmental footprint and may facilitate sustainable decisions processes. The German health system needs to develop quantifiable and holistic strategies to reduce CO2; sustainability might become a future performance indicator. This article discusses examples of adaptation to the climate crisis and mitigation in ophthalmology and beyond.
