Join us for an eye-opening exploration of healthcare's surprising role in the climate crisis and its potential to drive positive change. In this final segment of our Deep Dive series, we uncover how hospitals and medical facilities contribute to 4.6% of global emissions—but more importantly, how they can become powerful leaders in building a sustainable future. From solar-powered hospitals to eco-conscious medical practices, we'll explore practical solutions that are good for both planetary and human health. Whether you're a healthcare professional or simply someone who cares about our collective wellbeing, this episode offers hope and actionable insights for creating a healthier world for all. Come dive in with us as we connect the dots between healthcare, climate action, and social justice.
