Side Event 1: For People, For Planet: Environmentally Sustainable Health Research

IAP Triennial Conference 2025, Cairo Monday 8 December Side Event 1: For People, For Planet: Environmentally Sustainable Health Research The health research sector is resource and energy intensive; clinical trials contribute millions of tonnes of CO2 per year globally, laboratories are environmentally intensive to operate, and computational research has a sizeable carbon footprint. As a sector striving to improve the health of populations, the health research sector must lead the way in efforts to improve the health of our planet. This session will present the findings of a policy paper on building environmental sustainability into the health research systems in the UK and the US. This includes actions to be taken by stakeholders at all levels, focusing on alignment, collaboration and working in synergy. The findings are the work of 16 interdisciplinary future research leaders nominated by the UK Academy of Medical Sciences and the US National Academy of Medicine to participate in a joint policy initiative. The initiative aimed to raise new voices on climate change and health and to bridge the gap between science and policy.
