Planetary health: Global systems, climate change, and the public’s health

Join this panel sessions where our speakers will discuss the interconnection between global systems and the public’s health and how we can move forward to a better future for people and the planet.

The planet is facing multiple crises. Recently, we’ve seen the hottest years in history, wildfires sweeping across continents, record levels of food insecurity, escalating biodiversity loss, and a widening gap between the rich and poor. How can we reverse these alarming trends? Human health and the health of our planet are inextricably linked. Human health and thriving communities depend on planetary health, flourishing natural systems, and the wise stewardship of natural resources. 

Join our panel session with Sharon Friel, Michael Thomson, Elna Tulus, and Jason Prior, who’ll discuss the interconnection between global systems and the public’s health and how we can move forward to a better future for people and the planet.
