Carbon Emissions Learning Lab (CELL)

CELL is a learning tool for navigating net zero - a simulation, powered by real-world data, to support hospital leaders to become climate leaders through informed, sustainability-oriented decision-making.

A management simulation to drive greenhouse gas emissions reduction in hospitals

Welcome to the Carbon Emissions Learning Lab (CELL).

CELL is a powerful tool that empowers hospital leaders to make informed decisions and assess the impact of their choices on the environment.

At the Geneva Sustainability Centre, we believe that learning by doing is the best way to understand the strategies that can help hospitals reduce their environmental footprint while improving human health.

A web-based application to analyse and understand decisions for sustainability

In this engaging simulation, learners experience different scenarios and assess the impact of their decisions. With our state-of-the-art technology, you can develop your skills in addressing the sustainability challenges of today and tomorrow, without waiting for a crisis to happen.

Understand the decision-making process to reduce your hospital's environmental footprint

The Geneva Sustainability Centre’s masterclasses, delivered by leading experts, are complemented by CELL - providing you with a comprehensive learning experience. CELL can also be used on a standalone basis to support hospitals' sustainability training initiatives.

94% of users either strongly agree or agree that CELL is enjoyable, and helpful in increasing knowledge about hospital decarbonization - and 100% of users would recommend CELL to a colleague.

This was a very interesting activity to participate in. As someone with not much knowledge about sustainability efforts in healthcare, I think this was a good starting point to explore the topic.

I really appreciated the costs and graph analyses that were provided when selecting options. Helps understand the impact of upfront costs versus long-term benefit.

The different options presented during the five years were very illustrative. Before the simulation some of them were undervalued or directly unknown for us.

The whole simulation was helpful as I did not know strategies that hospitals could take to address CO2 emissions. The dashboards looking at each area were helpful to direct focus and see where opportunities were.

Hospital leaders can become climate leaders

What are the advantages of CELL?

Our easy-to-use simulation is powered by real-world data. Through the decision-making process, hospital leaders can experiment with different carbon-reduction initiatives and assess the impact of their decisions.

  • What is the difference between the Carbon Emissions Learning Lab (CELL) and the Sustainability Accelerator Tool (SAT)? Which should I choose?

    The Carbon Emissions Learning Lab (CELL) and the Sustainability Accelerator Tool (SAT) each serve very different purposes.

    The Carbon Emissions Learning Lab (CELL) is a learning tool focused on developing critical decision-making skills in a realistic, low-risk environment. A digital simulation developed using real-world data, CELL is designed to empower current and future hospital leaders to make informed decisions and assess the impact of their carbon reduction choices/interventions in hospital settings. As such, CELL is a critical part of the Geneva Sustainability Centre’s flagship Masterclasses, ‘Navigating Net Zero: Essential leadership for today and tomorrow’.

    The Sustainability Accelerator Tool (SAT) is an evaluation and tracking tool for sustainability based on environmental impact, health and equity, and governance and engagement processes. It is a digital platform that allows healthcare organisations to evaluate their maturity level and accelerate their journey towards sustainability. Whereas the Carbon Emissions Learning Lab (CELL) focusses on learning and carbon interventions, the Sustainability Accelerator Tool (SAT) is a self-assessment and benchmarking tool designed to track sustainability performance over time for hospitals and hospital groups.
