Building Sustainability into Human and Animal Healthcare

Veterinary practitioners and their counterparts in human healthcare are witnessing and experiencing impacts on their clients, patients, and communities from climate change. On the flip side, healthcare practices generate significant carbon emissions and thus contribute to climate change. This webinar focuses on efforts by healthcare providers, including veterinarians, to affect positive change. Learn how we can make a difference!
