The ‘GREEN-K’ initiative – Global Environmental Evolution in Nephrology and Kidney Care – has a vision of ‘Sustainable kidney care for a healthy planet and healthy kidneys’. Its mission is to promote and support environmentally sustainable and resilient kidney care globally through advocacy, education, and collaboration.
This initiative will be inclusive and global, focusing on collaborative action to develop a coordinated plan to achieve low carbon kidney services across our spectrum of care.
Key objectives of the partnership

This alliance is poised to drive significant advancements, ensuring that kidney care services worldwide become more environmentally sustainable.
“We are excited to partner with ISN to share resources, experience, and expertise in sustainable healthcare. With 30,000 kidney health professionals worldwide, we aim to drive rapid and significant changes in kidney care delivery. This partnership offers a unique opportunity to transform kidney care for a more sustainable future.
