Vital Strategies is a global health organization that believes every person should be protected by a strong public health system. Our programs reach into 73 countries and help prevent death and illness from noncommunicable disease, reduce harm caused by environmental factors, and support cities as engines for public health. Our Environmental Health division provides expertise and consultative services to address the global burden of environmental risks and harms including outdoor and household air pollution, safe drinking water and transportation.

WEAll (the Wellbeing Economy Alliance) is committed to promoting a global wellbeing economy that prioritises the health and wellbeing of people and the planet.

We recognise that to achieve a wellbeing economy, we need to address the core needs of people and the planet, which are Dignity, Purpose, Fairness, Justice, Participation, and Connection- especially to Nature.

We also recognise the critical link between Planetary Health and the design of the economic system. Therefore, we are committed to incorporating these core needs and planetary health principles and practices into our work.

As part of this commitment, we are excited to collaborate with the Planetary Health Alliance and its members to highlight the link between Planetary Health and the design of the economic system, share expertise, resources, and best practices, and work together towards social justice on a healthy planet.

The West African Academy of Public Health (also known as West African Institute of Public Health) is building cross-disciplinary and intersectoral partnerships in West Africa and beyond to explore the connections of the environment and human health. Through its public health programmes, research, training, and advocacy, it will initiate educational and research opportunities for interns, public health specialists, and faculty, along with other PHA members in West Africa, thereby bringing planetary health to the front burner of the policy domain.

In 2013, the World Federation of Academic Institutions for Global Health (WFAIGH) was launched as a global platform for an academic voice to influence policies on health and global governance mechanisms, to promote methodological development and research, and to share good practices in capacity building and educational innovations.

At WFPHA, we understand that global health challenges need to be tackled through a multidisciplinary approach by enabling joint collaborations with all sectors while proving a strong commitment to planetary health. We firmly believe that coordinated action is necessary to prevent disease, promote health and protect people, as highlighted in WFPHA Global Charter for the Public’s Health. To succeed, it is key to consider the multifaceted natural context in which human beings live. We run activities with a special focus on environment via our environmental health working group.

WCS saves wildlife and wild places worldwide through science, conservation action, education, and inspiring people to value nature. Understanding that intact and functional ecosystems provide the infrastructure for all life, health, and well-being on our planet, WCS works to highlight the health co-benefits of conserving intact land- and seascapes, and the importance of planetary health research and one health approaches to address the existential crises of the Anthropocene.

We are trying to improve planetary health through decreasing wildlife crimes and illegal wildlife trade. We acknowledge that pathogens are translocated globally through illegal wildlife trade and that environmental degradation is a threat to planetary health.
We intent to improve the skills and knowledge in and around the fields of wildlife crime within the planetary health community.

Wildlife Health Australia (WHA) is the peak body for wildlife health in Australia. Our principal objectives are the protection and enhancement of the natural environment. We undertake research, investigate and monitor wildlife diseases in Australia.

WLPH addresses two systemic problems directly related to the SDGs: i) under-representation of women in leadership on issues of planetary health ii) and the dominance of businesses that disregard externalities causing dangerous environmental degradation. Both problems undermine key development and human health progress achieved in previous decades with a disproportionate impact on women. The WLPH digital community and capacity development hub breaks down borders and targets those who need it the most: women from the Global South. WPLH tackles inequality, discrimination and dangerous environmental degradation. We do this by offering an empowering network and mentoring program that is combined with specific planetary health scientific knowledge. These resources enable us to harness the untapped potential of smart and creative women that would benefit hugely from being a part of a collective that is respectful, shares knowledge and inspires women to lead with courage.

The vision of the World Organization of Family Doctors (WONCA) Working Party on the Environment is healthy people, healthy communities and healthy ecosystems on a healthy planet. As a key partner in the Clinicians for Planetary Health initiative, the WONCA Working Party on the Environment collaborates with the Planetary Health Alliance in safeguarding our health and future generations through supporting family doctors and other clinicians in educating their patients, sharing best practices, and conducting broad public outreach.

Our organization is dedicated to advancing Planetary Health by integrating environmental sustainability with community health initiatives. We focus on environmental education, green infrastructure, and clean energy projects to improve public health and reduce our ecological footprint. By joining the Planetary Health Alliance, we aim to collaborate on research, share resources, and advocate for policies that address global health and environmental challenges. Together, we strive to create a healthier planet for all.

Just as human health and cities are inextricably linked, cities and human civilization are inextricably linked to the health of the planet. Humans build cities, and almost all urbanization has resulted in ecosystem destruction, which in turn feeds back into human civilization in the form of climate crises, pandemics, and biosphere collapse. The impact of humanity on our planet and its ecosystems has become so inescapable and decisive that we call this century the Anthropocene.

World Obesity Federation works with its members and partners to prevent, manage and treat obesity globally. A particular area of interest is the Global Syndemic of Obesity, Undernutrition and Climate Change, and the shared drivers and dysfunctional systems that need to be urgently addressed. World Obesity is working to convene leaders to help break down silos and collaborate effectively across these issues, with a particular focus on addressing food systems and urban environments. By working with the Planetary Alliance we hope to foster collaboration and joined up thinking to protect the health of our people, environment and planet.

At World Wildlife Fund (WWF), our mission is to conserve nature and reduce the most pressing threats to the diversity of life on Earth, focusing our work around six ambitious goals for healthy Climate, Food, Forests, Freshwater, Oceans, and Wildlife. Our unique way of working combines a global reach of more than 100 countries with a foundation in science, involves action at every level from local to global, and ensures the delivery of innovative solutions that protect communities, wildlife, and the places in which they live. With human health and the health of our environment inextricably linked, WWF strives to bring a stronger practice of conservation into the holistic paradigm of Planetary Health. Through contributing thought partnership to multi-disciplinary dialogue around planetary health, and likewise integrating the science of impacts of environmental degradation on human health into effective conservation, we envision bolstering solutions and a narrative that translate consistently across conservation and public health disciplines, securing greater attention, momentum, political will, and ultimately interventions that can withstand the winds of change in governments – and yield the scale of results our changing world needs. This might be done through joint communications, targeted workshops, advocacy campaigns with new collaborators, or other avenues to which WWF can directly contribute.

For more than 60 years, World Wildlife Fund has worked to help people and nature thrive.
