The outer globe shows human-caused changes to Earth systems, including pollution, marine degradation, biodiversity loss, and climate change. This graphic depicts how those ecological factors drive health impacts (shown inside the heart shape) ranging from nutritional diseases to direct injuries and from infectious diseases to mental health.

This version of the graphic uses the terminology of the nine Planetary Boundaries to convey the health impacts of breaching boundaries that regulate the Earth system, including land-system change, ocean acidification, and climate change. Download in either PNG (2MB) or PDF (5MB).
Closely aligned with Planetary Health, the field of Climate and Health addresses how one of the ecological determinants, climate change, results in a wide array of health consequences. One Health has traditionally focused on environmental changes’ interactions with infectious disease. Each field brings important perspectives to our common challenges and only by working together will we be able to reach our aspirational goals. Download in either PNG (2MB) or PDF (6MB).
