The interplay of factors influencing the carbon footprint of hospital care—A causal mapping analysis of scientific reports
The carbon footprint of hospital care is a multifaceted and complex issue driven by multiple factors. Insight into these factors can inform targeted actions to reduce emissions. This study also improves the understanding of the causes of variability in carbon footprint outcomes of hospital care, which is important for the interpretation and transferability of results and conclusions in this rapidly growing field of research.
