Industry and government
organizations in the healthcare sector are increasingly
addressing the impacts of climate change and energy on
operations. The sector is amongst the more intensive
users of energy and natural resources in support of its
operations. As energy costs rise and availability of
natural resources declines, the healthcare community will
face significant challenges and opportunities related to
procurement, facilities management and design.
Recent studies indicate a
convergence of interests related to climate change, energy,
and medical and global health. This workshop will examine
the role of supply chain programs, green building design and
retrofits, and facilities management in improving patient
health and response to treatment, and reducing energy
consumption, operational costs and greenhouse gas emissions.
On December xx, the Association
of Climate Change Officers invites you to a series of
interactive discussions examining opportunities to modernize healthcare
institutions and facilities with respect to energy
consumption, greenhouse gas emissions and improved patient
response.
