As we shift our design focus to address pressing climate challenges, consider this startling fact: healthcare alone accounts for 5% of global carbon emissions. The urgency to reduce healthcare’s environmental impact and align with net-zero emission targets has never been greater.
In this episode of our Anticipate Podcast, Alejandro Falcón, Technical Director and Healthcare Lead at WSP Middle East, is joined by Mike Barns, Programme Director – Architecture, at WSP in New Zealand. Together, they explore the transformation required to future-proof existing healthcare assets and propose a holistic approach to reducing the carbon footprint of healthcare design and construction.
