what is planet:health?

planet:health works with the understanding of human and planetary health as one living system - intertwined, intelligent, and under pressure in this time of metacrisis

planet:health gathers as a lab // unconference // interdisciplinary network for planetary health

our network weaves health practitioners, technologists, lawyers, artists, elders, educators and more to imagine, test, and share new ways of creating collective health for people + planet

we respectfully learn from Indigenous knowledge systems and wisdom traditions,

root in science, policy and governance,

and co-create in right relationship with technology to imagine and prototype flourishing health futures

we believe that making the goal health, for people + planet, makes complex problems more tangible; health is

  • a marker of when systems are failing
  • a co-benefit/ win-win of action
  • empathic in the impact on peoples' lives
