Some these aspects might bear significant environmental footprint, has been characterized insufficiently until this point. According recent data, greatest share overall GHG emissions outpatient dermatology purchased goods services, followed by patient travel waste, paralleling health sector overall. To address topics, six working groups on climate change or sustainability exist within following associations: American Academy (AAD), Australasian College Dermatologists (ACD), British Association (BAD), European Venerology (EADV), German Society (DDG), International (ISD).
