Abstract

Globally, healthcare systems can account for up to 10% of national CO <subscript>2</subscript> emissions. There is increasing awareness of the need to act to reduce the impact on our planet by living sustainably in our personal and professional lives. Literature on sustainability can be complex, and with so many demands on our attention and time, it is challenging for the practising dermatologist to grasp where to begin. This manuscript provides a practical guide with quantifiable impacts for each action. With mindful use of resources, both profitability and the well-being of patients and doctors can align with environmental protection.<br /> (© 2023 Australasian College of Dermatologists.)
