Tackling Climate Change in Health Care: UK’s 10-Year Journey

29 Jan 2025

12:00pm ET - 1:00pm ET

Canada’s health care system accounts for nearly 5% of the country’s greenhouse gas emissions—more than aviation and shipping industries. As one of the highest per capita health care polluters globally, how can we reduce our environmental impact? And what can we learn from countries that have successfully implemented greener health systems?

Join us for Choosing Wisely Talks on January 29, 2025 at 12 p.m. ET for a discussion on addressing climate change in health care practice. Expert speakers from the Centre for Sustainable Healthcare will share lessons learned from a decade of environmentally sustainable quality improvement efforts in the UK.

Speakers:

  • Rachel Stancliffe, Founder and Chief Executive Officer, Centre for Sustainable Healthcare
  • Dr. Frances Mortimer, Medical Director, Centre for Sustainable Healthcare
