The Lancet MedZero Webinar: Topic One

At the UN Climate Conference in Brazil, The Lancet announced an exciting new initiative: the Lancet MedZero.

Launching in early-2026, the Lancet MedZero will provide health professionals with robust data on the carbon footprints of pharmaceuticals, medical and surgical devices, diagnostic services, and care pathways.

The Lancet MedZero will serve as a one-stop global platform for robustly evaluating the carbon footprint of healthcare, operating at pace, scope, and scale. Designed for time-poor clinicians, procurement and sustainability professionals, and health policymakers, the user-friendly interface will provide granular carbon data of every part of the clinical pathway. Users will be able to adjust underlying assumptions, allowing footprints to be tailored to specific clinical contexts.

Join the conversation

We’re hosting a series of interactive webinars to co-create the foundations of the Lancet MedZero. From scientific standards to real-world integration, these sessions bring together experts and practitioners from across the health sector. Your insights will help define the next generation of carbon analytics in healthcare.

Topic One: High-quality data, novel methodologies, robust scientific standards

This session will take a deep dive into the technical backbone of the Lancet MedZero. We’ll explore potential data sources, methodological approaches, and the frameworks needed to ensure scientific rigor across the platform. Participants are invited to contribute insights from their domains as we work together to advance the evidence base behind carbon measurement in healthcare.
