This playbook provides an overview of how GHG emissoins are measured in helathcare and information on the current state of GHG emsissions estimation in healthcare organizations across Canada.
This playbook identifies practices for incorporating climate change considerations and planetary health into organizational strategic plans to support the transition to sustainable, equitable health systems.
This playbook provides background information and implementation resources designed to address environmental sustainability in organizational readiness.
Les principaux objectifs de cette recherche étaient de déterminer : • Comment les systèmes de santé des provinces et des territoires du Canada sont-ils actuellement tenus de rendre compte de leurs émissions de GES, et quels sont les changements attendus à court terme ? • À quoi pourraient ressembler les normes de comptabilisation des émissions de GES pour les systèmes de santé au Canada, compte tenu des normes internationales émergentes dans ce domaine ou dans d’autres secteurs ? Afin d’apporter des réponses à ces questions, une interprétation des résultats a été effectuée pour synthétiser l’information et identifier les facteurs et les mécanismes sous-jacents qui ont conduit à des niveaux plus élevés de responsabilisation en matière d’émissions de GES dans certaines juridictions, et pour évaluer la probabilité que ces mécanismes conduisent à un niveau et à une portée accrus de la responsabilisation en matière d’émissions de GES dans le secteur des soins de santé canadien de manière plus générale.
This webinar in the Leadership and strategy for sustainable health systems series is the sixth of seven events highlighting seven organizational practices to advance strategic planning for sustainable healthcare. These practices are presented in the upcoming CASCADES playbook Strategic Planning for Sustainable Healthcare. The series is organized in partnership with the with the University of British Columbia Sauder School of Business/Centre for Climate and Business Solutions, the Sandra Rotman Centre for Health Sector Strategy at the University of Toronto Rotman School of Management, Dalhousie University Faculty of Management, and other university partners
This webinar explores how healthcare organizations in Canada and internationally are increasingly estimating their full scope of greenhouse gas emissions, both direct and indirect. It examines what organizations can gain from these efforts while also considering the limitations of using emissions estimation as a tool to drive health system change.
This webinar presents the Atleo Centre for Compassionate Leadership’s “Ya’akstulth: Leading with Compassion in a Tumultuous Era,” which explores leadership rooted in relationality, compassion, and cultural integration. It introduces a philosophy that emphasizes “adding no more harm,” building connection before content, and fostering self-connection and resilience.

It features Heather Atleo and Shawn Atleo, who share their experiences and approach to leadership grounded in Indigenous and Western teachings, relational practice, and transformative system change.
This webinar explores how sustainability and quality of care are closely linked within health systems, and how Quality Improvement (QI) can support the transition toward environmentally responsible healthcare. It discusses frameworks and principles for QI and how sustainability can be embedded into improvement efforts at both organizational and provincial levels to reduce environmental impacts while maintaining or improving care quality.
This webinar features Jeffrey Tochkin sharing his experiences navigating the health impacts of climate emergencies and outlining the cycle of preparedness, response, and recovery. It explores lessons learned through a leadership lens and discusses strategies to strengthen health system resilience, emphasizing the role of health organizations in supporting broader societal resilience during increasingly complex climate-related emergencies.
