<p>It is the legal duty for integrated care boards (ICBs) and their partner National
Health Service foundation trusts under section 14Z44 of the NHS Act 2006 to consider
sustainability when exercising their functions. ICBs and their partner NHS foundation
trusts must consider section 1 of the Climate Change Act 2008, concerning United Kingdom
net zero emission targets, and section 5 of the Environment Act 2021, concerning environmental
targets. ICBs and their NHS foundation trusts must also adapt to any current or predicted
impact of climate change identified in the most recent report under section 56 of
the Climate Change Act 2008.</p><p>NHS England does not collect data on how many ICBs
have included sustainability in their assurance framework.</p>
