Description

Climate change causes health emergencies, with more intense storms and floods, more frequent heatwaves and the spread of infectious disease. We hear how the NHS is aiming for a net zero carbon emission target, to save lives and protect the planet.

Our guests are UCLPartners Chief Medical Officer Dr Dominique Allwood; AHSN Network Net Zero Lead Pete Waddingham; and Greener NHS Deputy Director Dr Natalia Kurek – talking to Caroline Kenyon.
