Abstract
The current climate crisis is the biggest risk to health in recent years. As a result the National Health Service (NHS) has a commitment to reduce carbon emissions to net zero by 2040. As healthcare professionals in Gastroenterology, we have a responsibility to ensure that our services are sustainable. By making changes to practice and re-examine the way we deliver patient care, we can safeguard a greener NHS for future generations.
