Waste and Sustainability Conference 2021

Waste and Sustainability Virtual Conference 2021

A Net Zero NHS

A one day virtual conference taking place on Thursday 29th April 2021. In association with ReAttendance. 

This year our conference is delivered with support from NHS England & NHS Improvement. The conference theme is ‘A Net Zero NHS’ – linked of course to the  ‘For a Greener NHS’ initiative.

The health and care system in England is responsible for an estimated 4-5% of the country’s carbon footprint so has a major role to play in supporting this. The NHS has therefore committed to reaching Net  Zero as soon as possible, requiring the support of all 1.3 million NHS employees.

The UK was the first major economy in the world to pass a law to end its contribution to climate change. This means that the UK will aim to balance any    emissions generated through emission cutting or removal efforts – so called ‘Net Zero’.

Given the importance of the NHS in our national life, how quickly the NHS can advance to Net Zero will affect how quickly the country as a whole succeeds.

This is a one day conference aimed at NHS  Managers and Leads in Waste Management and Sustainability.
