Fondation Brocher

Who carries the responsibility for health care carbon reduction?

Health care systems are significant contributors to global carbon emissions, and many clinicians, policy-makers, and academics now see decarbonization as an ethical mandate. The harder question is implementation: mitigation strategies exist at the individual, regional, national, and international levels — but who is accountable at each one, and how do autonomy, responsibility, and shared decision-making play out across them?

Our next Brocher Meetup takes on this question through a comparative ethical analysis, based on the research of Cristina Richie (University of Edinburgh) and Gabrielle Samuel (King's College London), with commentary by Anne Zimmerman (Voices in Bioethics). Chaired by writer and editor Sally Davies.

🗓 Thursday 24 September 2026, 4PM Geneva time — online and free, with replay on our YouTube channel.
