AASHE Campus Sustainability Hub

This course offers an overview of the relationship between human health and the climate and ecological crises, with a focus on respiratory health. It describes how the health system is vulnerable to, but also contributes to, climate change and ecological degradation, examines the specific contribution of inhalers to carbon emissions and other environmental impacts and explores (using real world case studies) how to develop a more sustainable approach to respiratory healthcare whilst maintaining or improving quality of care. The course also highlights the leadership role healthcare staff can play in the transformation towards a system that works for all, within planetary boundaries.
