Monitoring Infrastructure

Without feedback loops, climate goals lost momentum and were monitored less often than other organisational objectives. The study identifies integrated monitoring as a critical missing link for connecting actions to measurable emission reductions. The recommended monitoring approach starts with available data for hotspots such as gloves, medical gases, and energy consumption. The article recommends accepting some imprecision in emissions measurement rather than waiting for perfect data. The hospital lacked an integrated system linking climate actions to emission outcomes. Emissions data had to be manually retrieved from several IT systems, increasing administrative burden.
