The Faculty of Public Health has been officially certified as a carbon-neutral organisation by Carbon Neutral Britain.
Having recognised the climate emergency as the greatest threat currently facing human health the Faculty has taken concerted action to ensure sustainability in all areas of our business, and becoming carbon neutral is part of our ongoing commitment to promote the public health role in tackling climate change as outlined in our Climate and Health Strategy 2021-2025.
This certification comes after our success in March 2024, when the Faculty placed first in the Climate and Health Scorecard Initiative, which evaluates health organisations across four key domains: internal operations, education and training, divestment, and advocacy.
The Faculty will continue to lead by example on climate and health, working with our Climate and Health Committee and Sustainable Development Special Interest Group to advocate for climate policies that protect public health, as well as ensuring public health professionals have the knowledge and skills to take action on climate change.
