Greener Pastures: The start of sustainable solutions for Equine Veterinary Practice

12 February 2025

Join Vets for Climate Action for our upcoming Masterclass, Greener Pastures: The start of sustainable solutions for Equine Veterinary Practice.

This masterclass will introduce the goals and objectives of a new online climate care educational program being developed by Vets for Climate Action (VfCA). The Australian Equine Veterinary sector has a significant opportunity to lead in the shift toward sustainable veterinary practices. The emerging VfCA Equine Emissions Reduction Program aims to educate and empower equine veterinarians and related professionals to adopt strategies that provide more sustainable care, reduce carbon emissions, and advocate for climate action within the broader equine community and industries.

This masterclass offers a unique opportunity to share your insights, ask questions, and provide valuable feedback, helping to maximise the program’s impact and reach.

About the Presenter:

Dr. Wood graduated with honours from the University of Queensland’s School of Veterinary Science in 2007. She initially practiced as an equine veterinarian in South-East Queensland and has since worked in various clinical and academic settings. Caitlin brings a wealth of experience, with expertise in veterinary epidemiology, scientific research, teaching, and communication.
Her journey has also taken her to several African countries, including Sierra Leone, Ghana, and Zambia, where she developed a deep interest in public health and emerging infectious diseases. This experience reinforced her passion for the One Health approach, which recognises the interconnectedness of human, animal, and environmental health.
Caitlin holds a PhD from the University of Queensland, where her thesis focused on “Detection and epidemiology of Coxiella burnetii infection in beef cattle in northern Australia and the potential risk to public health.” She’s also a proud member of the Australian and New Zealand College of Veterinary Scientists (Veterinary Epidemiology chapter) and was awarded the Chris Baldock Award in 2019.
