Planetary Health is a solutions-oriented, transdisciplinary field and social movement that analyzes and addresses the impacts of destabilized natural systems on human health and all life on Earth.
First articulated in the 2015 report of the Rockefeller Foundation-Lancet Commission, Planetary Health focuses on the ways that human-caused disruptions to the Earth system affect human health. Given the complex interactions between human activity, environmental changes, and the many dimensions of human health, we will need all of society—earth scientists, health professionals, economists, journalists, businesspeople, policymakers, philanthropists, and all of us—to drive solutions.
