What is Planetary Health?

Planetary Health is a solutions-oriented, transdisciplinary field and social movement focused on analyzing and addressing the impacts of destabilized natural systems on human health and all life on Earth.

A New Approach to Human Development

A Planetary Health approach to human development recognizes that humankind has made significant progress in many ways with the industrial, green and technological revolutions as examples. But these development gains are now being offset by increasingly obvious disruption to the health of the planet—and the health and well-being of humans and all life on Earth. We can see this in depleted biodiversity, changing land use and cover, a massive increase in air pollution, shortages of natural resources, and the resulting damage to our lived environment most clearly demonstrated through recent pandemic and disease outbreaks and the climate emergency.
