Description
This talk highlights recent research exploring how the animal health industry is engaging with environmental sustainability by examining current attitudes toward sustainability and the climate crisis, and the extent to which individuals are personally and professionally involved in sustainable practices. It investigates what actions are already being taken, what more people want to do, and how sustainability considerations shape decisions in pet care, professional advice, and business operations. The discussion also addresses where responsibility for driving change should sit, who is best positioned to lead it, and the role the veterinary profession can play in building a more sustainable future—while continuing to deliver essential services that benefit animals, society, and the environment.
