Maria Gaden

Welcome and keynote

The production, packaging, transport, and disposal of single-use medical devices is another big emissions hotspot within healthcare&rsquo;s supply chain. This session will explore the role of single-use devices in driving these emissions and how to tackle them by applying the waste hierarchy and prioritising a circular economy approach.

Katrien Vanderwee

Liesbet Demarré

Emissions-free supply chains: Tackling single-use devices

Pharmaceutical production and use make up a quarter of healthcare&rsquo;s supply chain emissions. This session will explore how hospitals can address the carbon footprint of pharmaceuticals and why this is crucial for mitigating climate change and protecting public health.

Francesco Baroneadesi

Emissions-free supply chains: Tackling pharmaceuticals

Hospitals are more than just individual buildings, but buildings are the core components of every healthcare facility. This session will explore how design choices, construction, and renovations create hospitals that are healthier for people and planet. By prioritising climate-smart and resilient buildings, hospitals not only minimise carbon emissions but also improve patient care and staff well-being.

Marija Stamenkovic

Healing environments: Sustainable and resilient hospital buildings

Transport plays a pivotal role in the healthcare sector. Discover how electric vehicles and sustainable logistics can reduce emissions, enhance patient well-being, and contribute to a greener, healthier future for communities.

Paul Flattery

Kate Townsend

Healing environments: Climate-smart transport solutions

Lunch

Moving from theory to practice, join our discussion groups to discover examples of proven practices and innovative solutions to tackle four key emissions hotspots, ultimately driving action towards climate-smart healthcare. Examples will focus on sustainable procurement of pharmaceuticals and single-use devices, as well as climate-smart hospital buildings and transport solutions.
