This document discusses a UN initiative for green procurement in the health sector. It aims to lead by example through reducing the environmental burden of the health sector. The initiative has three main outputs: 1) Establishing evidence-based standards for green procurement in health, 2) Training procurement officers and practitioners, and 3) Engaging stakeholders. It aims for transformational change by setting green procurement guidelines, implementing $3 billion in green procurement, and engaging purchasers and suppliers. Examples of low-hanging fruits include phasing out mercury and PVC, which have cost-effective alternatives and environmental/health issues.
