Planetary Health Alliance

Organization information

"The Planetary Health Alliance is a growing consortium of over 420 universities, non-governmental organizations, research institutes, and government entities from 70+ countries around the world committed to understanding and addressing the impacts of global environmental change on human health and wellbeing.

Our Vision: A world where all people thrive by protecting and regenerating Earth’s natural systems for generations to come.

Our Mission: To promote, mobilize, and lead an inclusive, transdisciplinary field of Planetary Health and its diverse science, stories, solutions, and communities to achieve the Great Transition, a comprehensive shift in how human beings interact with each other and Nature, in order to secure a livable future for humanity and the rest of life on Earth.

To accomplish our mission, we:

  • Encourage and empower a diverse global Planetary Health community that crosses sectors, disciplines, generations, worldviews, and geographies;
  • Advance Planetary Health understanding by convening knowledge holders as well as curating, synthesizing, and disseminating evidence to inform and activate the Planetary Health community and the broader society.
  • Facilitate the education and training of current and next generation Planetary Health practitioners through the development and curation of open-access resources, mentorship and leadership opportunities, and programs from primary to university levels.
  • Mainstream Planetary Health science, stories and solutions through broad public outreach and direct engagement with civil society, private sector, general public and governments;
  • Promote actionable steps that individuals and society can take to advocate for and achieve progress toward Planetary Health."
