2. Profile Summary Linkedin
“I like this quote: ‘Let me state the goal clearly: No
policy should be promulgated, no program initiated, no
alliance sealed, no purchase made, no machine
designed or built, no land use permitted, no product
introduced, no law passed, no politician elected unless
the action is a step forward to reduction and reversal of
the effect of greenhouse gases.’ Gary Braasch”

Example: Health sector ECIS region
• accounts for 7.5 % of GDP
• technology intensive with significant consumption of
resources, associated with environmental pollution and
degradation
• accounts for an estimated 4.2 % of greenhouse gases (GHG) in
the ECIS region

term, more through long-term measures
