The U.S. health care sector contributes 8.5% of national and 25% of global health care emissions. As global efforts to reduce emissions intensify, the spotlight on the U.S. health care sector grows. <a href="/sustainability" title="Sustainability Roadmap for Health Care | Supporting Your Sustainability Journey">Environmental sustainability</a> and -->decarbonization are now integral to the health care mission of healing and promoting well-being. There is a community-wide expectation to reduce emissions and protect the health of patients, employees, and communities. Consequently, health care organizations are leading the way in developing innovative solutions to reduce their carbon footprint. However, financing sustainability projects remains a significant challenge.</p><p>In August 2022, the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) was enacted, offering tax incentives and funding mechanisms typically unavailable to tax-exempt organizations, including non-profit health care.
