The University of the Highlands and Islands (UHI) in Scotland seeks to advance Planetary Health through interdisciplinary research, education, knowledge exchange and community partnerships that recognise the interconnected health of people, animals, ecosystems and the environment. Through initiatives such as our university-wide One Health Strategy and the One Health Breakthrough Partnership, we work with communities, public bodies, healthcare organisations, industry and policymakers to address challenges including environmental pollution, climate change, biodiversity loss and sustainable development. As a member of the Planetary Health Alliance, UHI will seek to contribute evidence, experience and perspectives from rural, coastal, island and remote communities while developing new international collaborations in research, education and policy. We are committed to working with partners across the Alliance to generate and apply knowledge that supports healthier communities, healthier ecosystems and a more sustainable future for all.

SSE is committed to reducing the environmental footprint of Québec’s healthcare system. We bring together healthcare professionals through our Annual Conference on Sustainable Healthcare, which, in 2026, has convened over 250 participants from all parts of Canada, USA and Europe, to advance concrete climate action.
SSE is also leading a four‑year initiative to automate greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions audits across six Québec healthcare systems, supporting data‑driven carbon reduction strategies.

Through collaboration with the Planetary Health Alliance, SSE seeks to contribute to a global community dedicated to planetary health—sharing field expertise, breaking down silos, and accelerating collective impact. We look forward to knowledge exchange, collaborative learning, and participation from Alliance members as panelists in our annual conference.

A SAMA Health In Harmony incorpora a Saúde Planetária em seu trabalho ao investir em soluções comunitárias lideradas por indígenas e ribeirinhos na Amazônia brasileira, integrando saúde humana (expedições móveis, telemedicina), economia florestal sustentável (miniusinas de beneficiamento de produtos nas comunidades e operadas por elas mesmas) – reconhecendo que o bem-estar das pessoas e dos ecossistemas é inseparável.

Pretendemos colaborar com a Planejaty Health Alliance, promovendo saberes indígenas via Escuta Radical em fóruns e buscando parcerias para advocacy climático-justiça.
