Objectives: The urgent global threats of the climate crisis and antimicrobial resistance have the potential to be addressed in part by increasing the use of outpatient antimicrobial therapy (OPAT).

Methods: We assessed the CO, waste and water footprint associated with self-care, nurse assisted and outpatient OPAT care pathways and inpatient administration of intravenous antibiotics to adult patients for whom OPAT was a viable treatment option.
