Children's National Health System's reported carbon emissions

Children's National Health System, headquartered in the US, currently does not have available carbon emissions data, as indicated by the absence of specific figures in kg CO2e. Additionally, there are no documented reduction targets or climate pledges at this time. This lack of data suggests that the organisation may still be in the early stages of developing its climate strategy or reporting framework. In the context of the healthcare industry, many organisations are increasingly committing to sustainability initiatives and setting science-based targets to reduce their carbon footprints.
