Médecins Sans Frontières Switzerland (MSF) pledges to reduce the carbon emissions of its medical humanitarian projects by at least 50 per cent by 2030 to safeguard the future health of patients and communities.

Recognising our contribution to the global problem of carbon emissions and human-caused environmental disruption, we pledge to reduce emissions by at least 50 per cent compared to 2019 levels by 2030. With this target, we aim to chart a firm trajectory towards decarbonisation, aligning MSF with the goals of the Paris Agreement on climate to limit global warming below two degrees. MSF Switzerland, which oversees medical humanitarian projects in 27 countries, is the first of the five MSF operational centres to set a carbon emission reduction target. This follows the decision of the entire MSF Movement to reduce the environmental impact of its emergency medical projects through the adoption of an Environmental Pact in 2020.
