Nordson Green Earth Foundation strives to improve tree equity by establishing tiny native forests and other greenspaces in the Chicagoland area–because we feel all communities deserve trees and the health, climate and social benefits they provide. Our projects use only native species which encourages natural ecology and biodiversity. In addition, our forests (by way of the Miyawaki method for native urban forest planting) reach maturity in a few decades as opposed to a few centuries. For this reason, they are a timely solution that can combat heat island and flooding effects as well as boost mental health in areas historically excluded from green infrastructure investments. We aim to collaborate with the Planetary Health community by sharing knowledge and gaining wisdom about rewilding methodology, greenspace creation and community engagement around climate action.

The Nova Institute for Health is a heart-centered think tank that takes action for the good of people, places, and the planet. Our mission is to catalyze new ideas in health, explore the complex network of factors that influence health, and promote the well-being of individuals, communities, and the planet. Our vision is of a world where health is valued as our most basic and essential asset and where people, places, and the planet flourish for the benefit of all. We are building on our focus on “person health” and the context of peoples’ lives and communities (places) as well as the health of the planet we all share, because they are all interconnected. This transdisciplinary focus on Planetary Health is reflected in the work of our Scholars and Fellows and our forums, demonstration projects, and outreach.

OAPTAR is the only organization in Malaysia that does evidence-based prevention interventions for the healthy development of children and young people and for the wellbeing of families and communities. Our work is informed by developmental epidemiology, transactional and ecological factors that affect the healthy development of young people through out their developmental stages.

Our interventions reduce risk factors and promote protective factors at micro and macro levels of influence. The focus of our intervention is the whole person and includes social-emotional competencies, resilience and mental wellbeing.

The impact of climate change, environmental degradation, pollution, rapid development and loss of greenspaces and biodiversity affects mental health and general wellbeing.

By joining the Planetary Health Alliance, we aim to mainstream planetary health and advocate for policies and legislation that embeds planetary health practices into the private and public sectors. We look forward to dialogue and collaborations with PHA members.

Malaria No More envisions a world where no one dies of a mosquito bite. More than a decade into or mission, our work has contributed to historic progress toward this goal. Now, we’re mobilizing the political commitment, funding, and innovation required to achieve what would be on of the greatest humanitarian accomplishments – ending malaria within our generation.

To do that, we need to look outside infectious disease interventions only. Climate change is harming the world’s health more rapidly and severely than we ever knew, introducing new complexity to health systems around the world. The harmful effects of climate change on efforts to eliminate malaria have been evident for years. Rising temperatures, changing rainfall patterns and extreme weather events complicate efforts to control the disease, and put many millions more at risk of illness and death.

Migrant Clinicians Network is a global nonprofit organization focused on providing practical solutions at the intersection of vulnerability, migration, and health. We directly serve anyone with an ongoing health need who, because of their vulnerabilities, may be lost to follow-up as a result of the choice to migrate or forced displacement, from temporary, migrant, and year-round farmworkers and dairy workers, to people forced from their homes after a climate disaster or fleeing from disease, violence, or economic instability in their hometowns. As the climate crisis intensifies, more people will be forced into vulnerable conditions that jeopardize their health.
