Sustainability education in urology training remains fragmented despite high trainee awareness

A narrative review finds urologists and trainees show strong willingness to engage with sustainability initiatives, but formal curricula are nearly absent. Most existing efforts are brief and elective; evidence linking training to behavioral or environmental outcomes remains lim…

• Narrative/scoping review design (EAU endourology group); no primary patient data or sample size — findings are synthesis-level, limiting quantitative conclusions.
• Imaging, endoscopic technologies, and perioperative workflows show considerable variability in emissions, underscoring the need for specialty-specific — not generic — sustainability curricula.
• Key limitation: no controlled studies link educational interventions to measurable behavioral change or environmental outcomes; competency-based integration into operative workflows is recommended but largely unvalidated.
