Description

Healthcare contributes significantly to global carbon dioxide equivalent emissions, with kidney care contributing disproportionately to this. Renal medicine was one of the first specialties to actively develop a "green" community. This paper is a retrospective review of a series of comprehensive and impactful green initiatives across various aspects of kidney care delivery in a kidney unit from 2007 to 2024.
