In 2015 the United Nations issued 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) addressing a wide range of global social, economic, and environmental challenges. The main goal of this paper is to provide an understanding of how the current System of Radiological Protection relates to these SDGs. In the first part it is proposed that the current System of Radiological Protection is implicitly linked to sustainable development. This is substantiated by analysing the features of the current System as set out by the International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP) in its publications. In the second part it is proposed that sustainability should be considered and more explicitly addressed in the next ICRP general recommendations, as part of the currently ongoing review and revision of the current System. A few examples are given of how this could be realised, and it is proposed that this issue should be discussed and developed together with the international community interested in radiological protection.
2015 年,联合国发布了 17 项可持续发展目标(SDGs),旨在应对全球范围内广泛存在的社会、经济和环境挑战。本文的主要目的是探讨当前放射防护体系与这些可持续发展目标的关系。文章第一部分提出,当前的放射防护体系与可持续发展存在隐含联系。这一观点通过分析国际放射防护委员会(ICRP)在其出版物中所规定的当前放射防护体系的特征得到了证实。文章第二部分提出,在当前放射防护体系的审查和修订过程中,应当在未来的 ICRP 一般建议书里考虑并更明确地处理可持续性问题。文中给出了一些具体建议,以实现这一目标,并提出应与关注放射防护的国际社会共同探讨和发展这一问题。
