Update from the Faculty of Intensive Care Medicine

Reduce energy use, lower waste and improve sustainability

Climate change is a healthcare emergency. Carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere have been greater than 350 parts per million (ppm) since 1988. If you’re younger than 37 years old, your whole life has been spent in carbon dioxide excess.

In collaboration, the Faculty of Intensive Care Medicine, Intensive Care Society and UK Critical Care Nursing Alliance, alongside Brighton University, are taking action.

Together, we are developing a ‘Recipe Book’ to share actions in critical care units to reduce energy use, reduce waste and improve sustainability.
