Sustainable Clinical Trials Knowledge Hub
This Hub is a repository of resources, including case studies and guidance, for low carbon practices across the clinical trials value chain.
How it can help
The Hub promotes adoption and amplification of leading practice for low carbon clinical trial design and management by bringing together insights from clinical researchers, clinicians, industry partners, academics and regulators. Through shared learning, the Hub promotes clinical trials that are Sustainable by Design.
Sustainable Clinical Trials Community of Practice (CoP)
What it is: A collaborative LinkedIn group which aims to amplify and accelerate initiatives that will reduce the negative environmental impact of clinical trials.
How it can help: The CoP was created to disseminate leading practice and innovation to remove barriers and accelerate action that will reduce the negative environmental impact of clinical trials, share knowledge and foster collaboration among all the stakeholders involved in clinical trials.
Who it’s for: Anyone interested in taking action to make clinical trials more environmentally sustainable.

Clinical Trials Carbon Calculator
What it is: A free-to-use carbon calculator for clinical trials aligned to the Sustainable Healthcare Coalition (SHC) methodology.
How it can help: The calculator follows a stepwise process to quantify carbon emissions from the separate activities (modules) associated with clinical trials to estimate the overall carbon emissions. The calculator supports identification of carbon emission hot spots, guiding users regarding the greatest opportunity for reducing the carbon emissions from clinical trials.
Who it’s for: All stakeholders involved in the design and management of clinical trials, including suppliers, to ensure clinical trials carbon emission reduction at speed and scale.
