Climate and Health: The new narrative
We will look at the climate impact of the health system and highlight some of the new and exciting initiatives taking place that seek to dramatically decrease the emissions healthcare emits. From vehicle electrification and the built environment to pharmaceuticals and renewable energy, the panel will look at the future positive direction that healthcare can pursue in order to lessen its impact.
We will also explore the role of health as a new climate narrative. From health disparities and workforce protection to air quality and climate refugees, we will bring together leaders at the frontline of communicating the health impacts of climate change and how through stronger storytelling we can engage and inspire the public, policy influencers and business leaders.
Key questions to be addressed will include the following:
How can the healthcare sector decarbonize at pace and scale and which solutions in particular should the sector pursue?
From health disparities and workforce protection to air quality and climate refugees, how can we improve as a climate community on communicating the health impacts of climate change?
This session is hosted by Climate Group.
