The health sector can play a leading role in reducing the impact of global warming. Their efforts can set an example to other sectors, according to a paper released by the World Health Organization (WHO) and Health Care Without Harm.

The health sector is also a major consumer of water, computers, medications, food and other resources, the paper notes.
