Global GHG emission intensity by pharma and health industry
Global greenhouse gas emission intensity was generally higher in the pharmaceutical industry, compared to the health care services industry, considering both direct and total supply chain. Between 1995 and 2019, the direct pharmaceutical industry's emission intensity reached around ******, while the direct healthcare service industry's emission reached around ***
The emission intensity estimates were the same for both periods, 1995-2019 and 2010-2019.
