Mapping the flow of data in clinical trials and assessing its CO <sub>2</sub> emissions

2026-08-03

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background</h4> Healthcare contributes 5% of global carbon emissions, with clinical trials forming a meaningful share. Existing trial emission frameworks inadequately capture and account for data storage and analysis emissions. <h4>Objective</h4> (i) Map the end-to-end flow of AstraZeneca’s (AZ) trial data and identify emissions hotspots; (ii) estimate emissions from the hotspots and assess their materiality...
