AHDC is proud to welcome industry leaders in the healthcare sustainability sector to our ‘Roadmap to Net Zero Healthcare’ webinar. Australia’s healthcare industry has one of the largest carbon footprints in the world. Why is Australia so far behind the rest of the world when it comes to reducing carbon footprint? What are the barriers towards carbon neutral healthcare in Australia?

Join us as we analyse the current healthcare sustainability crisis, discuss the latest research and trends, and establish how to deliver a carbon neutral healthcare sector in Australia.

We are delighted to introduce our speakers for the event as they share their views on what we must do now, as an industry, if healthcare is to achieve the Government’s target of net zero by 2050:
