PLANETARY HEALTH: Planetary Health is focused on characterizing the linkages between human-caused disruptions of earth's natural systems and the resulting impacts on public health.
PLANETARY HEALTH ALLIANCE: The Planetary Health Alliance (PHA) is a consortium of over 300 universities, NGOs, government entities, research institutes, and other partners around the world with a shared mission—supporting the growth of a rigorous, policy-focused, transdisciplinary field of applied research aimed at understanding and addressing the human health implications of accelerating anthropogenic change in the structure and function of Earth’s natural systems.
