Description
Mila Petrova and co-authors draft a framework to sort research on cutting carbon from health care, in a study from 2026. Older schemes sort by emission scope or loose themes, which does little to guide funding or teamwork. The team aimed for a map of what is studied, and what is missing, with England's NHS in focus.
They mined over 160 research questions from reviews, stakeholder papers, and funder sources, then tested the draft map against more sources. The result has six top themes, from resource use to measurement and theory, summed up as NHS-SOS. Below them sit 39 mid-level and 86 finer subthemes. The authors offer the map as a base for planning and funding new work.
