A global database of healthcare's environmental impacts

7,000 impact values, 3,000 products and processes, 1,700 authors, 800 institutions, 350 data sources, 195 countries, 20 years of research.

Project overview

From individual pharmaceuticals to entire health systems, researchers around the world are working hard to assess the environmental impacts of different aspects of healthcare.

HealthcareLCA serves as an up-to-date repository for this work, bringing together new and existing assessments into one centralized and publicly accessible database.

In support of a rapid and evidence-based transition toward sustainable health systems, we provide open-access to all of our data and charts.
