NSLHD named winner of International Hospital Federation Award After a remarkable string of achievements and recognition, NSLHD’s planetary health efforts are again in the spotlight. The district was recently named a Gold Winner of the Ashikaga-Nikken Excellence Award for Low-Carbon Healthcare at the International Hospital Federation Awards 2025 in Geneva. The global awards bring together health organisations across the world to celebrate and honour best practices in leadership, sustainability, quality, and patient experience across categories like worker well-being, operations, and low-carbon initiatives. The district was recognised for the project titled ‘Australia’s first public healthcare blueprint for reaching net zero emissions across all scopes’ – the same project that received a NSW Health Award in 2024. Director, Population and Planetary Health, Paul Klarenaar, said the award celebrates the achievements of the past year and showcases the district’s growing influence in sustainability. “This award caps off another very successful year for our planetary health efforts and I would like to thank every staff member and partner from across the district for making this possible,” he said. This latest award follows a year of significant recognition for the planetary health team, including their win at the NSW Health Promotion Awards and further accolades at the Climate and Health Summit, where they received the Overall Pacific Region Health Care Climate Champions Award and the Gold Award for Climate Leadership.
