From Caring for Patients to Protecting Our Planet: Advocacy in Residency Education, the theme of this year’s International Conference on Residency Education (ICRE) reflects our commitment to the importance of planetary health.  

Over the years, ICRE has been following sustainable practices to help combat the climate crisis, such as: 

• eliminating printed conference programs and offering a digital app, and 
• reducing single-use plastic by not offering water in plastic bottles and using biodegradable badge holders.  

This year, to further reduce our carbon footprint, we encourage ICRE attendees to purchase carbon offset credits through their travel airlines. By doing so, you are helping to support investment in sustainable aviation fuel (SAF); innovations for the future of sustainable technology, such as hydrogen engines and electric planes; as well as nature conservation efforts across Canada and the world. By adding a small amount to your travel costs, you would be making a considerable positive impact on the environment. For more information, please visit the following websites:
