Climate change and environmental pollution are among the greatest health threats affecting the planet, human-ity and biodiversity. This is recognised in the 2030 United Nations Agenda for Sustainable Development, which includes an urgent call for action from all sectors. The entire oral healthcare community, including clinical professionals and industry, recognises that we have a responsibility to deliver products and interventions that improve oral health in a sustainable manner. We also recognise the need to address this environmental chal-lenge within the context of huge oral health inequalities across the world. The actions taken to address sus-tainability goals need to be balanced with the need to manage these avoidable inequalities and the associated preventable diseases.Towards this objective, the FDI World Dental Federation convened an expert group to produce this Consen-sus Statement on Environmentally Sustainable Oral Healthcare. This brings together a coalition of stakeholders that includes leading figures from industry, health professionals, academic experts, legislative authorities and dental associations, with the clear intent to identify an impactful and robust strategic action framework that crosses boundaries and takes a truly collaborative, evidence-based approach. In doing so, the work of this panel represents an important continuum of the pioneering statement adopted by the FDI General Assembly (August 2017, Madrid, Spain) [5].Through this document, we identify the collective views across the whole supply chain, where all are equally committed to further improving sustainability without compromising healthcare benefits. This work is in close alignment with the UN Sustainable Development Goals, and recognises that both excellent oral healthcare and the development of a circular economy are two key pillars in delivering sustainability. We further recognise that there are opportunities to collaborate across the sector and throughout supply chains, to develop and promote sustainable practices that achieve meaningful and measurable environmental benefits.This joint stakeholder statement recognises the major challenges facing oral healthcare, the complex drivers that underpin current behaviours and practices, and the best opportunities to improve and deliver sustainable oral healthcare for people and the planet. The statement further emphasises the routes to sustainability in oral healthcare, drawing on evidence from the published literature [6, 7]: reduce, reuse, recycle and rethink; leg-islation, policy and guidelines; waste management (including SUPs); procurement and logistics; research and education; and materials for clinical use.
