Educating for a Healthy Planet: Advancing Planetary Health Literacy on the Road to COP30

Clique aqui para a versão em Português

As humanity faces converging crises—from climate change and biodiversity loss to pandemics and food insecurity—it is increasingly clear that the health of people is inseparable from the health of the planet. Planetary Health offers an integrated, transdisciplinary framework that addresses these interconnected challenges by placing human well-being within the context of Earth’s natural systems.

While COP30 (to be held in Belém, Brazil in 2025) represents a critical political moment to advance climate action globally, education remains a powerful yet underleveraged lever for long-term transformation. Embedding Planetary Health into education systems - from primary schools to professional training - can empower citizens, leaders, and communities with the knowledge, values, and skills necessary to co-create a sustainable and equitable future.

This event seeks to explore the role of Planetary Health education in preparing societies for the urgent transitions demanded by the climate crisis, aligning with COP30’s agenda and the broader Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and building upon Planetary Health Educational Framework, developed by the Planetary Health Alliance. The participants, organized into panels, will address Planetary Health education initiatives at different scales, ages, contexts, and geographies, discussing success factors and challenges.
