Abstract Established in 2015 the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) were agreed with the aim to balance the need to address social and ethical obligations such as ending poverty and other deprivations, while tackling climate change and the other planetary boundaries. In 2018 the International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP) initiated a review and revision of the System of Radiological Protection which will lay the foundation for Radiation Protection standards, regulations, guidance and practice worldwide for the next 40 years. Recognising the importance of the UN SDG’s the ICRP has started to consider what the role of the revised system of protection should be in enabling delivery. On the 15th May 2024 the Society for Radiological Protection (SRP) and World Nuclear Association (WNA) ran a workshop exploring the intersection of the System of Radiological Protection and the SDG’s. The outputs of the workshop are summarised in this paper showing the views from a variety of practitioners working across the radiation protection sectors on the key factors to be considered in the revision of the system of radiological protection to enable delivery of the UN SDG’s.
