Green Lab Principles and Practice

In this episode, University of Galway MicroCreds Project Lead, Emma Goode, meets with Dr. Una Fitzgerald to discuss a Micro-credential that investigates the environmental impact of laboratory resources and how scientific labs can adopt greener, more sustainable practices. It explores key environmental considerations, from climate change and biodiversity to plastics pollution and the UN's Sustainable Development Goals. Drawing on psychological, sociological, economic and ethical perspectives, it examines how perception and behaviour shape environmental responses.
