Building competencies for climate-conscious pharmacy

The pharmaceutical sector contributes to healthcare's footprint, as global greenhouse gas emissions continue impacting global climate. As climate change increasingly threatens health systems and patient outcomes, pharmacists must develop competencies to reduce environmental impact while maintaining resilient services. This event celebrates the launch of FIP resources aiming to integrate sustainability across all pharmacy sectors. Expert panellists will explore practical strategies for mitigation and adaptation, address barriers, and discuss sector-specific sustainable practice. Participants will gain actionable tools to advance professional development, curriculum design, and policy advocacy in planetary health stewardship.
