Planetary health is a solutions-oriented, transdisciplinary field and social movement focused on analyzing and addressing the impacts of human disruptions to Earth’s natural systems on human health and all life on Earth.” The impact of human activities on the planetary enivornment requires a concept of health that takes into account changing global conditions and their significance for prevention, disease, therapy and epidemiology within the framework of interdisciplinary approaches. Based on the definition by the Planetary Health Alliance this toolbox category provides an overview and introduction to the concept of Planetary Health touching on the historical background and relevant scientific aspects (e.g. anthropocene, planetary boundaries, tipping points, implications to health and well-being, co-benefits, vulnerable groups, climate justice, ethical considerations, Loss and Damage, etc.).
This category serves as the foundation for the other toolbox categories and is essential for the learning experience through the toolbox as a whole.
Learning objectives:
-
Learners will be able to describe the basic concept of Planetary Health.
