Education and research are key drivers for transformation. Educational institutions have a unique role to play in shaping our futures and developing professional competencies to support this future. Embedding planetary health education in curricula is an essential step to achieving the transformative change needed to respond to the planetary crisis and equip learners to protect and restore planetary health and achieve the Sustainable Development Goals.

Based on the PHE Framework and its 12 cross-cutting principles of planetary health education this category provides students and teachers with background material on e.g. PHE, Education for Sustainable Development, Transformative Education, but also practical guidelines and frameworks when developing and realizing educational activities, e.g. How to build your own planetary health course, a blueprint for a week seminar, etc.).   

The goal of this section is to provide you with guidance and examples of how educators at institutions around the world have designed their courses, so that you are able to develop a rich and rigorous course for your own context.

Learning objectives:

• Learners will be able to describe the fundamental principles of Planetary Health Education.

• Learners will be able to choose and apply relevant tools to design their own Planetary Health Course.
