WCN'25 Planetary and Kidney Health: It is a Two-Way Journey

In this session, we will explore the interconnectedness of environmental change and kidney health, focusing on the growing need for nephrology to adopt sustainable practices. As the climate crisis intensifies, nephrologists must consider how environmental factors such as pollution, water scarcity, and climate-induced health risks are impacting kidney disease prevalence and outcomes. This session will delve into strategies for developing a comprehensive roadmap for environmentally sustainable kidney care, including practical steps for making dialysis units more eco-friendly. We will also envision the future of kidney care over the next 25 years, emphasizing the role of future generations in driving innovative and sustainable solutions.
