'Climate change is the biggest global health threat of the 21st century’ – The Lancet
The climate crisis has numerous health implications. Healthcare additionally contributes to the problem, accounting for 4-5% of the UK's carbon footprint. Healthcare professionals therefore have a growing duty to understand and help mitigate the effects of this.
This event will involve a panel discussion between a handful of healthcare professionals currently working within various areas of sustainable healthcare locally and further afield. It will provide inspiration and ideas for how to incorporate environmental sustainability as part of your career. This will be followed by a Q&A session to help answer your questions further.
This event is part of the Green Careers Festival 2024. You can view the full programme of events here.
