In this panel, we will discuss climate change and anesthesia through three lectures and a question-and-answer format. The first lecture will provide a broad overview of the current and future states of climate change globally and will be given by an expert in environmental science, Dr. Prasad Kasibhatla. The second lecture will focus on the application of emerging technology to climate change, namely artificial intelligence. This lecture will be provided by an expert in artificial intelligence, Sean Jeffries, MSc. Finally, the last lecture will focus on methods anesthesiologists can mitigate their impact on climate change and will be given by an anesthesiologist actively involved in advocacy and research in the field, Dr. Diane Gordon. We believe these topics will benefit all anesthesiologists and provide a better understanding of climate change and methods to improve our global impact as a specialty.
