Sustainability awareness
Find out what the NHS is doing to improve its sustainability
The NHS England carbon footprint is 21 million tonnes of CO2 equivalent. Despite an increase in efficiency, the NHS carbon footprint has risen by 40% since 1990. It is widely recognised that climate change is probably the most serious threat to life, our health and our well-being. As one of the worlds largest organisations, the NHS has a national and international duty to act and to set an important example to the business community and the public. Find out what the NHS is doing about it and why this matters to us all. All welcome. Free to NHS, Universities of Exeter, Plymouth or PCMD staff and students. No need to book drop in for all or part of the afternoon.
