英文摘要 | The planet has a fever, and it is getting worse. Climate change manifests through mechanisms such as extreme weather, shifting disease burden, wildfires, and drought, which all have negative implications on human health. Simultaneously, the health care sector is responsible for 4.6% of global greenhouse gas emissions. As users of some of the hospital's most energy-intensive equipment, radiology departments are key stakeholders in the transition to clean energy. The authors propose a framework to guide radiology departments to advance health care sustainability. The approach outlines how a radiology department can reduce its environmental footprint through appointing a sustainability officer, forming a dedicated green team, incorporating sustainability into the departmental strategic plan, quantifying total greenhouse gas emissions, committing to education, and advocating for systemic change. By delineating a structured path, the authors hope to encourage the transition toward environmentally friendly practices in all radiology practice settings. |
