Join in, for a special climate changed themed episode of the Great Paediatric Bake Off. How can you sustainably source ingredients whilst also being more environmentally friendly as you bake? These are some of the questions the College’s star baker Dr Ash Patel put to Dr Liz Marder and Dr Katy Rose, both members of the College’s Climate Change Working Group. They’ll be discussing all things climate change, from their working group at the College, to how you can commit to being more sustainable in your own departments. They share lots of ideas on how simple changes with everything you do, can make a big difference in being more environmentally friendly at home, and at work. Climate change is the biggest threat to health for the foreseeable future and it’s important that paediatricians set an example and lead the way in being more environmentally friendly.
Don’t forget to check out our resources and the work we’ve been doing on climate change to explore environmental sustainability in paediatrics.
