Dr Sharon Pfleger will be opening North-East Climate week at the University with a talk about the impact of pharmaceuticals on the environment and how clinicians can become more eco-conscious prescribers. Talks can be attended in person or online and all talks will be recorded to be viewed after the event.

Dr Pfleger is a co-founder of the One Health Breakthrough Partnership (OHBP) which aims to reduce pharmaceutical pollution in the environment through sustainable One Health innovation. Sharon works for NHS Highland in Inverness as a Consultant in Pharmaceutical Public Health. She is an expert on the effect of pharmaceuticals on the environment and how clinicians can make more eco-conscious prescribing choices. A wide range of her talks are available on the OHBP website https://ohbp.org/outputs/online-and-media-outputs/

In this interactive workshop we’ll be talking about what community organisations can do to help reduce car use in their local area.  We’ll cover greenhouse gas emissions in Scotland, to what extent transport contributes to this, and how we measure up globally.  We’ll also talk about how to set up and develop an active travel project.  This could be an initiative that will directly help people to get walking, wheeling and cycling, or a community action plan for encouraging sustainable travel in your area.  We’ll also discuss the resources, funding and support that Sustrans can provide, and local group Aberdeen Cycle Forum will be talking about the work they do and how you can get involved.
