Why Sustainability Matters
IN MEDICINE AND LIFE SCIENCES
Sustainability is fundamental to the future of medicine, nursing, psychology and the life sciences. Human health is closely connected to the health of our environment and communities, with climate change, pollution, biodiversity loss, resource depletion and social inequalities contributing to new and growing health challenges worldwide.
Embedding sustainability into healthcare education, research and practice prepares future healthcare professionals and scientists to respond to these challenges responsibly.
