SUMMARY:Busting the Myth of Recycling in Healthcare
DESCRIPTION:Recycling is often seen as the primary solution to healthcare waste—but is it the most effective one? Join the Canadian Coalition for Green Health Care and CASCADES for a discussion that reframes recycling through the waste hierarchy and the lens of a circular economy. Speakers will explore how emissions accumulate across a product’s life cycle and why upstream interventions can deliver greater climate benefits than end-of-pipe solutions like recycling.

SUMMARY:A Hospital Pharmacy Framework for Climate Resilience in Canada
DESCRIPTION:Hospital pharmacies play a critical role in maintaining safe and reliable medication management in acute-care settings—but these systems are increasingly vulnerable to climate-related disruptions. Join us to explore a new framework developed by the Canadian Association of Pharmacy for the Environment (CAPhE) that helps hospitals integrate climate adaptation and resilience into pharmacy operations. This session will highlight practical strategies to strengthen supply chains\, ensure medication continuity\, and support more climate-resilient\, sustainable healthcare systems.
