Healthcare systems are responding to the immediate and long-term impacts of climate change by providing care, and implementing carbon reduction initiatives. The nursing profession possesses substantial potential to advocate and embody sustainability values. However, a proportion of nurses remain unaware of the intricate linkages between nursing practices and climate change; hence this study explored nurses’ and midwives’ awareness, perceptions and attitudes regarding climate change and sustainable healthcare practices.
