The Piedmont Learning Center is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit in Baltimore, Maryland, U.S.A., and our mission is to connect people, nature, and communities through experiential outdoor learning on our historic, ecologically-rich property. We inspire curiosity, build confidence and practical skills, and foster environmental stewardship through engaging outdoor education opportunities, including experiencing beekeeping first-hand, and helping children and adults become curious, thoughtful, and responsible members and leaders of both their local and global communities.

Our program offerings include guided history hikes through the forest; watershed education with green stormwater infrastructure, such as rain barrels and our large rain garden, featuring a dry-creekbed inflow and native plants; the importance of increasing urban tree canopy and learning about the Miyawaki method of planting through our new “pocket forest”, as well as how to plant trees; experiential, sustainable beekeeping through our 16-hive apiary, honey processing, and learning about pollinator gardens; other sustainable agriculture with our free-range chickens and vegetable and herb garden; creating arts and crafts relating to, teaching about, and/or helping the environment; teaching about the native Pawpaw tree and fruit; and soon, we will be launching a water quality monitoring and education program in our local Gwynns Falls– a major tributary of the lower Patapsco River, which empties into the Chesapeake Bay 11 miles south of the mouth of Gwynns Falls.

Through our program offerings and our commitment to environmental sustainability on our property and in our community, the Piedmont Learning Center will incorporate Planetary Health into nearly every aspect of operation and will continue to seek how we can improve doing so through the Planetary Health Alliance. We hope to contribute our knowledge to and collaborate with the Planetary Health community through being a space for members to come learn, explore, and experience nature, as well as being open for research plots and/or monitoring equipment to be installed on our property, and through sharing our knowledge, environmental research, funding strategies, pollinator knowledge, and more. We hope to be a resource for environmental communication and collaboration within the Planetary Health community and beyond, and we appreciate feedback and suggestions on how we can improve our commitment to Planetary Health.

The Càtedra Salut i Canvi Climàtic UB–MútuaTerrassa (Chair of Health and Climate Change UB–MT) is a joint initiative of the University of Barcelona and MútuaTerrassa, working within a consortium that includes Meteocat (Catalan Meteorological Service), the Government of Catalonia’s Directorate-General for Climate Change and Environmental Quality, the Polytechnic University of Catalonia (UPC), and the Universitat Rovira i Virgili (URV). Our mission is to understand and address the health impacts of climate change, with particular attention to vulnerable populations. Our work integrates Planetary Health across research, including climate epidemiology, One Health, and climate-resilient health systems, as well as teaching and policy engagement, that is grounded in a teaching institution actively committed to decarbonisation. In October 2025 we convened our first international Symposium on Climate and Health Crisis, an initiative led by our Chair on Health and Climate Change (UB–MT), the Ministry of Health of Spain and the Government of Catalonia, with the support and participation of the World Health Organization, the European Commission and the European Observatory on Health Systems and Policies, producing the “Barcelona Outcomes and Call to Action” document, and we are now preparing the second edition for 9–11 of May 2027. Within the Planetary Health Alliance, we aim to share this framework and our symposium model, contribute to working groups on education, policy, and research, and support PHA’s advocacy efforts, including the European Declaration on Heat and Health, signed by our director. We would also welcome the opportunity to connect the Europe Regional Hub with our networks across Spain, Catalonia, and the Mediterranean, and to explore PHA’s participation in our future activities.

TERRA Climate & Innovation Association (terraCI) is an independent civil society organization that places planetary health at the core of its work — developing projects, conducting research, and delivering field education in the field of sustainability. Based in Çanakkale, Türkiye, at the intersection of some of the Eastern Mediterranean’s most vulnerable ecosystems, we work to make the connection between ecosystem health and human wellbeing tangible at the community level. Our grant-funded projects, field training programs, and environmental research are all designed to translate planetary health science into local action. Through Planetary Health Alliance membership, we aim to contribute field-based evidence from a climate-vulnerable and underrepresented region, engage with the global community through joint research and collaborative initiatives, and help build a stronger planetary health network across Türkiye and the Eastern Mediterranean.

We are building an MSc education in Planetary Health Sciences. We do research focused on biodiversity, sustainability, historical disease development, vector-borne diseases and their interactions with biodiversity and global change.

ALTEREDU advances Planetary Health by connecting education, research, community wellbeing and sustainability through participatory, nature-based learning and innovative approaches to planetary wellbeing. We aim to empower individuals and organizations to embrace a holistic understanding of the interdependence between human wellbeing and the health of our planet. Through the Planetary Health Alliance, we seek to co-create interdisciplinary, action-driven initiatives, exchange innovative practices and build international partnerships that accelerate meaningful change. We are particularly committed to contributing Central and Eastern European perspectives and translating global Planetary Health knowledge into practical, community-based solutions.

Physicians for Climate Finland integrates Planetary Health into its work by highlighting the fundamental connections between climate change, environmental sustainability, and human health, and by supporting healthcare professionals in addressing these interconnected challenges. We promote awareness, education, and evidence-based action within the medical community to strengthen climate-resilient and environmentally sustainable healthcare in Finland. Through the Planetary Health Alliance, we seek to collaborate with international partners by sharing knowledge and experiences, supporting interdisciplinary dialogue, and contributing the perspectives of Finnish healthcare professionals to the global Planetary Health community. We look forward to learning from fellow members and working collectively towards a healthier, more resilient, and sustainable future for people and the planet.

The Planetary Resilience Institute is guided by “One Life, One Planet, Shared Resilience”: the conviction that the well-being of people, societies, and all other life is inseparable. We incorporate Planetary Health into our research, advisory work, advocacy, and education by connecting ecological integrity, social equity, and systemic resilience across species and generations. Through the Planetary Health Alliance, we aim to share assessment methods, develop joint research and training, and work with fellow members to translate knowledge into locally relevant actions. We welcome collaboration that advances shared well-being while ensuring that solutions are complexity-informed, systemic, and do not shift harm onto other communities, ecosystems, or future generations.

ICLEI advances a Planetary Health approach by supporting cities and regions as key actors in creating healthier, more biodiverse, and more resilient places for people and the planet. Building on its commitment to long-term sustainable development, we embed the interconnections between human, animal, plant, and ecosystem health into inclusive urban policy, planning, and design. This includes supporting cities and regions to promote biodiversity and nature-based solutions, reduce emissions through climate action, resilience and climate adaptation, and sustainable food systems. In collaboration with the Planetary Health community, ICLEI aims to co-develop practical solutions that support Planetary Health and generate evidence and capacity for implementation across sectors and governmental levels.

The International Society of Doctors for the Environment (ISDE) works to protect human health by addressing environmental threats through science, education and advocacy. Through its network of national organizations and health professionals, ISDE brings environmental and planetary health into public health practice, primary care and community action. As a member of the Planetary Health Alliance, we hope to exchange knowledge and experience across regions, develop educational opportunities and collaborate on initiatives addressing climate change, pollution, biodiversity loss and health inequities. We look forward to contributing the perspectives of frontline health professionals to the Alliance’s shared work.

Planetary Health at McMaster – Statement of Collaboration

The Planetary Health Initiative at McMaster University is an institution-wide, cross-faculty effort that addresses global environmental change through systems-level research, education, and campus operational action. We advance the field through our targeted research seed grants, the development of multidisciplinary programs, and international convenings. Within the Planetary Health Alliance, we look to engage partners at the regional, provincial, and national level in Canada, as well as internationally. Together we want to bring a broader perspective in the discussion that considers how systemic factors in diverse communities nationally and internationally contribute to unequal environmental and climate impacts. We look forward to active engagement in the North America Regional Hub and the Education Working Group. We warmly invite PHA members to collaborate on joint research proposals, co-host conference sessions, and partner on solutions at the intersection of clean energy, ecosystem resilience, and community well-being.

The Centre for Medical Ethics and Law (CMEL) at The University of Hong Kong incorporates Planetary Health by treating climate change, biodiversity loss, and pollution as core ethical and legal determinants of health, and by embedding that framing in research, public health law teaching, and professional education across Hong Kong and the Greater Bay Area. Our work develops Planetary Health law and governance, including the right to a healthy planet, a planetary right to health, rights of Nature, digital Planetary Health ethics, and Confucian anthropocosmic resources for practice in East Asia. We aim to collaborate with the Planetary Health Alliance by contributing this legal and ethical capacity to education, Regional Hub, and governance initiatives, while testing our ideas against the clinical, community, and policy experience of other members. In return, we seek partners, amplification, and two-way exchange so that Greater Bay Area climate-health realities and East Asian legal thought inform the global community, and so that Alliance frameworks strengthen our teaching, professional forums, and work with HKU’s Institute for Climate and Carbon Neutrality. Formal collaboration will make Planetary Health a shared institutional commitment rather than a side interest, and will help place law and ethics among the instruments of the Great Transition.
