Green is the new gold: a systematic review of the environmental impact of urological procedures, telehealth, and conferences

An increasing body of literature has evaluated the impact of urologic care on planetary health and demonstrated opportunities to minimise our carbon footprint. Incorporating changes to common procedures and considering virtual formats for clinics, conferences, and interviews-even in part-confers environmental benefits. Efforts to adopt greener and more sustainable practices in urology are necessary to mitigate the threat to planetary health.

Abstract

An increasing body of literature has evaluated the impact of urologic care on planetary health and demonstrated opportunities to minimise our carbon footprint. Incorporating changes to common procedures and considering virtual formats for clinics, conferences, and interviews-even in part-confers environmental benefits. Efforts to adopt greener and more sustainable practices in urology are necessary to mitigate the threat to planetary health.
