he purpose of this policy recommendation is to provide key elements for the construction of the mitigation component of the Comprehensive Climate Change Management Plan - PIGCCS of the Health sector. To do this, a systematic review of information was carried out, a technical visit to a health institution and participation and attendance at courses and conferences led by different actors in the health sector at the national (Colombia) and international level, to identify the problem of climate change in the health sector, and to answer a series of questions that are intended to be solved in this summary of policies such as: the sources of GHG emissions in the health sector, which were classified according to the scope categories Greenhouse Gas Protocol - GHGP; propose a methodology for the quantification of the carbon footprint for which the unification between the GHGP and the Colombian Technical Standard ISO 14061-1 of 2006 was taken into account, also mitigation measures were proposed regarding the health sector in order to reduce emissions generated at both the organizational and operational levels. This document is an instrument geared towards political decision-making by actors at both the public and private levels of the health sector, who due to the nature of their functions and operational scope (national, regional or local) have a higher degree of affinity with national mitigation guidelines related to the sector.
