Description

Can we save lives and save the planet? Hear how the healthcare sector is tracking, finding solutions and making changes, to be more sustainable and green.

Healthcare is both significantly affected by, and is a contributor to, climate change. If the global health sector were a country, it would be the fifth largest emitter of greenhouse gases in the world.

So, how can Australia work towards a more sustainable healthcare system, without compromising on quality and safety?

Hear from cardiologist David Celermajer, sustainability researcher Amanda Irwin and global public health professional Rashmi Venkatraman – with host and science communicator Dr Naomi Koh Belic.

The recording of this conversation is from a live public event held on 22 August 2023 at the University of Sydney, presented with Sydney Environment Institute.
