This is a plenary presentation from the KDIGO Controversies Conference on Green Dialysis: Environmentally Sustainable Care, Growth, and Innovation.

In this plenary, Frances Mortimer, MD, Medical Director of the Centre for Sustainable Healthcare (United Kingdom), examines the environmental toll of dialysis care. She discusses the carbon footprint, energy consumption, water use, and material waste associated with treatment for dialysis-dependent kidney failure, and calls for systemic change to align kidney care with sustainability goals.

The KDIGO Controversies Conference on Green Dialysis, held in April 2025 in Berlin, brought together global experts to explore how kidney care can become more environmentally sustainable without compromising clinical outcomes. Co-chaired by Jenny Flythe, MD (United States), and Katherine Barraclough, MD (Australia), the meeting addressed opportunities to reduce the carbon footprint of dialysis, improve resource efficiency, and integrate sustainability into innovation and practice.
