SustainabilityRx is FIP’s programme of work that supports the progress and implementation of FIP Development Goal 21 ‘Sustainability in Pharmacy’. Sustainability as a concept in ingrained in global development. Successful development has to be sustainable. The UN Sustainable Development Goals are in fact ‘sustainable’ goals after all. This only emphasizes the importance of DG21 sustainability in pharmacy. In pharmacy, sustainability spans across workforce and education, practice and science – and extends beyond environmental issues. FIP established SustainabilityRx in recognition of the importance of this in transforming and developing pharmacy globally, regionally and locally. This FIP micro-site focuses on showcasing our sustainability programme of work through three key priority areas: environment and planetary health; responding to disasters and pandemics; and sustainable services.
