Stanford Center for Human and Planetary Health
Year Joined: 2024 · United States
The Stanford Center for Human and Planetary Health works towards a vision of a thriving ecosystem and healthy communities worldwide. Based at the Stanford Woods Institute for the Environment at the Doerr School of Sustainability and in close partnership with the School of Medicine’s Center for Innovation in Global Health, the Initiative conducts solution-oriented research, creates knowledge, trains leaders, and drives impact in human and planetary health. Four interdisciplinary areas of focus guide our research and core activities: Climate & Health, Pollution & Health, Disease Ecology in a Changing World, and Food Systems, Health & the Environment. Along with enabling research, advancing education, convening the interdisciplinary Stanford community, and supporting impact-oriented initiatives, the Center for Human and Planetary Health supports undergraduate and graduate education at Stanford through foundational planetary health coursework.
As we develop our human and planetary health work at Stanford, we look forward to sustaining nature while supporting health by: identifying and exploring new collaborations, exchanging resources, and advancing global collective planetary health priorities with other institutions.
