Planetary Health Roadmap and Action Plan
Developed by the global Planetary Health community, this document outlines key actions related to assessment, communications, education, governance, business, and mainstreaming.
TAKE ACTION
Advancing Planetary Health
Engaging all sectors of society will help us achieve a future in which all can thrive.
Sectors to Drive Change
To achieve Planetary Health, we must first understand the underlying drivers of ecological degradation.
As shown in the diagram, these drivers include:
- Culture, Values, Behavior
- Consumption
- Population Size, Demographic Change (including urbanization)
- Technologies (including industrial and agricultural practices)
Recognizing the scale of the problem, it is essential for all members of society and the systems we create to collaborate in developing and implementing solutions.
