Climate Conscious Pharmacy
Join the Leslie Dan Faculty of Pharmacy on Wednesday, May 31 from 7:00 – 8:30 p.m. for a live virtual discussion on Climate Conscious Pharmacy.
Environmental sustainability in both professional and personal life is an urgent priority if we are to meet climate impact goals to reduce global warming. Climate conscious pharmacy practice can contribute positively and significantly to reducing greenhouse gas emissions and our carbon footprint.
The Centre for Practice Excellence (CPE) is collaborating with CASCADES to develop tools to raise awareness, educate the pharmacy community, and advance climate conscious pharmacy practice. We look forward to conversations across the pharmacy community that will engage, inspire, and motivate all of us to think and act in a more environmentally intentional manner.
