Country-level commitments and action pathways to climate-resilient and low-carbon health systems.
Use for country pledges and progress signals.
Our World in Data (OWID) — Chart API + CO₂ dataset
Public chart data API for global CO₂, energy, and related indicators (useful for context dashboards).
The dashboard uses OWID Grapher CSV endpoints for lightweight global series.
Electricity Maps — Carbon intensity API
Live, historical, and forecasted electricity carbon intensity by zone (great for Scope 2 insights).
Requires an API token; stored server-side in env vars.
Climate TRACE — Public emissions inventory
Free public emissions data and API/bulk downloads covering many sectors globally.
Useful for contextualizing national/sector emissions and MRV discussions.
Practice Greenhealth
Healthcare sustainability tools and benchmarking resources (US-focused, influential globally).
NHS Net Zero
Major health system net zero program with practical playbooks, targets, and implementation examples.
Sustainable Healthcare Coalition (example supplier action)
Industry collaboration on measuring and reducing healthcare emissions (often Scope 3 focused).
Optional reference for procurement-heavy emissions strategies.
How the AI assistant uses these
The chatbot is configured to prefer these sources when answering questions and to say “I don’t know” when the information is uncertain. You can also add your own internal guidelines and data (e.g., energy audits, procurement catalogs, building systems) for hospital-specific answers.
