fiscal year 2024 focusing on several high-priority projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The first project involved implementing one Clinical Enterprise Management Recognition Plan goal to reduce waste by 78 tons by the end of the fiscal year. This required analyzing all waste streams and identifying actions necessary to reach the expected waste reduction targets in tonnage. Several waste reduction actions were selected and implemented in alignment with other organizational targets, dashboards, reporting to leadership and education throughout the organization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-details is-style-read-more is-layout-flow wp-block-details-is-layout-flow\"><summary>Read More about Sustainability at UC San Francisco Health<\/summary>\n<p>The second project was implementation of the White House\/Health and Human Services Climate Pledge, signed on to by UC Health to reduce 50% carbon emissions by 2030 and report selected scope 3 carbon emissions. This effort required establishing baselines and obtaining total spend for each of the selected scope 3 categories. Carbon emission factors of weight and dollar spend were calculated and reported. Categories included the scope 3 emissions required by UC policy: commute, business travel and waste. Additional categories included scope 3 emissions for relevant products and services. This was the first year of this data collection, which was new for UC and groundbreaking for UC Health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The third high-priority project is implementation of a UC Health contract for climate resilience.&nbsp; This work required collaboration with several entities, including the City of San Francisco, UC, UCSF\u2019s Emergency Management and Planning Departments, and the UCSF Office of Sustainability.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group location-info\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-regular is-style-default\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/sustainabilityreport.ucop.edu\/2020\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/12\/ucsf_health_logo.png\" alt=\"UC San Francisco Health Logo\" class=\"wp-image-1166\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n<div  class=\"appear-on-scroll wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\" >\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link external wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/sustainability.ucsf.edu\/\">Sustainability at UC San Francisco<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<div id=\"query-posts\" class=\"query-posts three-across posts\"><div class=\"excerpt post-1588 post type-post status-publish format-standard has-post-thumbnail hentry category-uncategorized location-taxonomy-location-194\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/sustainabilityreport.ucop.edu\/2024\/2024\/10\/07\/ucsf-health-systems-sustainability-journey-pioneering-new-practices-to-minimize-nitrous-oxide-emissions\/\" class=\"thumbnail\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"460\" src=\"https:\/\/sustainabilityreport.ucop.edu\/2024\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2024\/10\/UCSFH_Locations_SanFranciscoHealth_Story_N2O-700x460.jpg\" class=\"attachment-post-large size-post-large wp-post-image\" alt=\"Nurses Using Checklist Next To Nitrous Oxide\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"pixel pixel1_1\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\n<h3 class=\"title\"><a href=\"https:\/\/sustainabilityreport.ucop.edu\/2024\/2024\/10\/07\/ucsf-health-systems-sustainability-journey-pioneering-new-practices-to-minimize-nitrous-oxide-emissions\/\">UCSF Health System&#8217;s Sustainability Journey: Pioneering New Practices to Minimize Nitrous Oxide Emissions<\/a><\/h3>\n<div class=\"content\"><p>The University of California, San Francisco Health system is acting on its pledge to support climate health by leading the way nationally to remove central piped nitrous oxide (N2O) from its hospitals\u2019 infrastructure.
