Climate Change, Health & Practical Sustainability

This is both an update on the links between climate change and health, and a discussion about practical sustainability solutions that can be implemented in your practice. We will present an overview of the latest evidence and research on climate change and health, and then hear from rural Victorian GP Dr Gerard Brownstein about his work on sustainability in his practice and the local region. There will be opportunities for discussion and space to hear your ideas.

Session aims:

• Educate GPs on the latest research and links between climate change and health

• Provide practical examples of sustainability and reducing carbon emissions that can be implemented at a local level in GP practices
