A freshly Just Accepted special report in Radiology (Hanneman et al., doi 10.1148/radiol.250070, online 22 Apr 2025) calls the global imaging community to collective climate action. Building on the Radiology R7 summit in Venice (Oct 10–13 2024), the authors lay out an eight-part framework that urges radiology services worldwide to become low-carbon, climate-resilient and health-centred:
- Health-centred focus
- Leadership & governance
- Engagement & partnership
- Global health equity
- Mitigation (cut energy, resources, waste)
- Adaptation & resiliency
- Innovation & research
- Knowledge sharing, education & training
The roadmap emphasizes measurable targets—identifying high-impact hotspots, setting reduction goals, and reporting outcomes—to ensure imaging continues to improve patient care without compromising planetary health. Collaboration across clinicians, industry and policy-makers is presented as the decisive lever for rapid, sustainable change.
