Sustainability transitions in university hospitals: contextualising research incentives and ethical responsibilities
- While there is agreement on the need to improve sustainability in university hospitals, there are strong differences of opinion on how such goals interact with responsibilities of the medical profession, including research activities.

Furthermore, there needs to be greater awareness and systematic consideration of the health co-benefits of sustainability transitions. Both are necessary to prevent the sustainability agendas in hospital settings from becoming deadlocked due to disagreements over priorities and implementation, despite initial consensus in principle.
