This podcast was organised and funded by AstraZeneca. For healthcare professionals only. Adverse events should be reported, information on reporting is given at the end of this page.
In this expert-led podcast, we examine the intersecting challenges of climate change and increasing demand on healthcare systems. The discussion explores the effects of rising global temperatures and air pollution on both our patients and healthcare services. Expert health professionals also discuss the role of healthcare systems in contributing to climate change, identify the sources of greenhouse gas emissions, and explore the impact of poorly controlled respiratory disease on patient outcomes and environmental footprint.
If you would like to learn more, please join the promotional symposium at the ERS 2025 annual meeting, ‘Caring for patients and our planet, advocating for a sustainable future in respiratory care’, taking place on Monday 29th September, 12:15–13:15 in Hall 7A at RAI Amsterdam, organised and funded by AstraZeneca.
