<h2>Resources for assessing environmental impacts</h2>
<p>There are different ways to assess environmental impacts.</p>
<p>Tools vary as to what gets included in the calculations and how it is measured. It is important to consider this when embarking on the assessment. For example, you need to make sure you calculate impacts beyond carbon emissions, such as water usage. You also need to make sure any carbon/environmental assessments are fully inclusive of all <a href="https://www.nationalgrid.com/stories/energy-explained/what-are-scope-1-2-3-carbon-emissions">emission scopes</a>.</p>
<p>Some useful healthcare specific resources include:</p>
