Falling Walls Science Summit 2022 Falling Walls

Falling Walls Circle – Round Table: Sustainability Meets Healthcare

Falling Walls Foundation, Liveris Academy for Innovation and Leadership, The University of Queensland, Australia | Arun Majumdar, Peta Ashworth, Michael Schuetz, Volker Richter

Environmental sustainability is essential for improving health system functions, delivering better outcomes for patients, and contributing to larger social and economic benefits. Reducing both the carbon footprint and waste generation in the healthcare sector are examples of methods to achieve environmental sustainability – this escalating issue requires attention and action.

This Round Table talk will highlight the devastating trajectory that global healthcare is on, based on its carbon footprint and waste generation while demanding the implementation of sustainable solutions as a global priority.

The event is cohosted by our partner the Liveris Academy for Innovation and Leadership/The University of Queensland, Australia.

This event will be accessible for our digital audience by livestream free of charge here at 2.00 pm.

Falling Walls Circle Tables give the spotlight to world-leading scientists and science strategists, along with policy-makers from academia, business and politics to shape the agenda of the future of science.
