Climate Action Group – Survey

The IAPB Climate Action Working Group (CAWG) seeks to provide leadership, facilitate learning and promote good practice to support IAPB members to take action in mitigating the eye health sectors impact on climate change and environmental issues.

Climate change is a serious threat to health care services, human and planetary health. The CAWG recently launched an evidence-based Guide for Environmentally Sustainable Practices in The Eye Health Sector (the Guide) and Call to Action to support IAPB member action.

Purpose

To better understand how IAPB Members are engaging with the Guide and its 10 areas for action, and identify additional information and resource needs, the CAWG is seeking feedback via a short online survey.

To help the CAWG we would appreciate it if you could complete this short 5-10 minute survey. The anonymous survey is open to all IAPB members and their staff.
