| dc.description.abstract | Climate crisis is dramatically changing life on earth. Environmental sustainability and waste management are rapidly gaining centrality in quality improvement strategies of healthcare, especially in procedure- dominant fields such as gastroenterology and digestive endoscopy. Therefore, healthcare interventions and endoscopic procedures must be evaluated through the ‘triple bottom line’ of financial, social, and environmental impact. The purpose of the paper is to provide information on the carbon footprint of gas- troenterology and digestive endoscopy and outline a set of measures that the sector can take to reduce the emission of greenhouse gases while improving patient outcomes. Scientific societies, hospital execu- tives, single endoscopic units can structure health policies and investment to build a “green endoscopy”. The AIGO study group reinforces the role of gastrointestinal endoscopy professionals as advocates of sus- tainability in digestive endoscopy. The “green endoscopy” can shape a more sustainable health service and lead to an equitable, climate-smart, and healthier future. | pt_PT |
