Veterinary Climate Action @ Melbourne
Exploring the interconnection between the veterinary profession and environmental sustainability.
Our research group seeks to better understand the complex relationships between veterinary actions and environmental sustainability. We research the impacts of standard veterinary practices and procedures on environmental sustainability as well as the attitudes and potential education gaps of veterinary students and staff in relation to climate sustainability of veterinary practice. We strive to provide evidence to support decision making which will improve the environmental sustainability of the veterinary profession.
