Climate change with its new risks to human health and life on earth is coming. The current hope is to reduce its impact by limiting global warming to 1.5℃ by 2100. Achieving this goal will need effective international collaboration and action, the development of new and alternative technologies, and the ability and willingness of people to change their daily habits. GPs and their practices can lead and be role models by improving their own sustainability. This article summarises what you need to know and signposts easy-to-use resources to improve your sustainability and respond to the challenges of climate change.
