K2: Keynote 2 – What can health and care systems do to mitigate the global climate emergency?


Thursday 11 April 2024 | 16:15-17:00


The healthcare sector is responsible for almost 5% of global greenhouse gas emissions, and if it was a country it would be the 5th largest polluter in the world. But how do we reduce waste, improve efficiency and decrease carbon footprint while still prioritising safety?


In this keynote session, we will hear from Hackney-based climate activist Daze Aghaji on why it’s so important to consider our connection to the planet world, and Anthony Costello, Professor of Global Health and Sustainable Development, on what this means for health and care.
