NHS Wales Decarbonisation

Strategic Delivery Plan 2025-2030

Following endorsement by the NHS Wales Leadership Board, the refreshed NHS Wales Decarbonisation Strategic Delivery Plan (SDP) has been published on the Welsh Government website: NHS Wales decarbonisation strategic delivery plan 2025 to 2030

Building on the strong foundation of the original SDP, the refreshed plan sets out ambitious initiatives to reduce emissions in the NHS in Wales.

The refreshed plan will help NHS Wales organisations to:

  • Increase energy efficiency and use of renewables
  • Support more sustainable travel by staff and patients
  • Work with suppliers to minimise environmental impact
  • Deliver environmental sustainability
  • Reduce waste
  • Work as sustainably as possible.

Input from across NHS Wales organisations has been invaluable in shaping the refreshed plan as we work together towards a lower-carbon, more sustainable health system.
