Abstract
While it is now well recognised that gastroenterology, hepatology and endoscopy are major contributors to climate change on account of the amount of greenhouse gases (GHGs) that are generated in these specialties, systematic research that measures the exact amount of GHGs generated by different aspects of clinical care in the specialty is lacking. Similarly, while there are a number of publications highlighting the potential strategies for the reduction of GHGs, interventional studies assessing the impact of change are only beginning to be carried out. As such, there are a number of unmet research needs in this field and this mini review is aimed at discussing some of these.
