WATCH study home

Better understanding healthcare employees’ perspectives on the relationship between climate change and healthcare, to inform and facilitate a rapid transition towards low-carbon healthcare.

We're part of the School of Public Health and Preventive Medicine.

  • Climate change is one of the greatest health threats of the 21st century

  • Our healthcare system produces 7% of Australia’s greenhouse gas emissions

  • Hospitals are among the most energy-intensive commercial buildings

  • Reductions in waste and energy use can provide economic co-benefits for healthcare organisations
