WHAT IS PLANETARY HEALTH?

​

Planetary Health is a transdisciplinary and solutions-oriented frame for understanding and addressing the greatest challenges of our time: the transformation and degradation of Earth's biodiversity and natural systems, and its interconnected impacts on human health and all life on our shared planet.

 

You can learn more about the scientific field, social movement, and transdisciplinary framework that is planetary health at the Planetary Health Alliance's website.

 

Achieving a world and new development paradigm where all people thrive by protecting and regenerating Earth’s natural systems for generations to come will take all of us. It requires a comprehensive shift in human activities across all sectors of society, and in our relationships with Nature and with each other—what we call the Great Transition.

​

WHAT WAS THE THEME OF THE 5TH ANNUAL MEETING?

 

The theme of the 5th Planetary Health Annual Meeting was Building the Field and Growing the Movement. 

​

All were invited to this hybrid (in-person and virtual) convening of scientists, youth, policymakers, educators, private sector, artists, and more to learn about the complexities of planetary health science, find community, seek solutions, and build skills for action and change! 

​

WHO ORGANIZED THIS MEETING?

 

The Planetary Health Annual Meeting (PHAM) was hosted by the Planetary Health Alliance (PHA), based at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health in Boston, MA, USA. We co-created the PHAM with our Program Committee to ensure an inclusive, productive, and exciting experience for speakers and attendees.
