Breakfast walk and talk: climate change, nature and health
Climate change affects health outcomes in many ways and exacerbates existing health inequalities. The NHS Net Zero commitments are clear, and substantial work is taking place across the country to reduce our carbon footprint and help prevent ill health.
However, England is one of the most nature-depleted countries in the world, and this is impacting the air we breathe as well as the ecosystem processes that regulate the climate. Are we doing enough to understand the links between the natural world, climate change and its impact on health outcomes?
Join us for a refreshing morning walk around Manchester city centre to see urban greening initiatives and discuss the health benefits they provide as well as exploring key environmental sustainability challenges for the NHS.
