Inter­na­tio­nal Event of the Cent­re for Pla­ne­ta­ry Health Poli­cy

In June, the Cent­re for Pla­ne­ta­ry Health Poli­cy offi­ci­al­ly laun­ched its work in Ber­lin and published its first poli­cy brief Health within pla­ne­ta­ry boun­da­ries. With our digi­tal event “Health in the Anthro­po­ce­ne” on Decem­ber 8, 4.30 pm we want to reach out to inter­na­tio­nal experts and stake­hol­ders to dis­cuss how public health, eco­no­mic and social poli­ci­es can maxi­mi­se health equa­li­ties within pla­ne­ta­ry boun­da­ries.

We are deligh­ted to wel­co­me Kathe­ri­ne Zywert, PhD, to start off the event with a key­note pre­sen­ta­ti­on on ways of “Cul­ti­vat­ing Human and Pla­ne­ta­ry Health for a Sus­tainable Future” pro­vi­ding a sneak pre­view into her forth­co­ming book.

Tog­e­ther with Dr. Nico­le Red­vers, Asso­cia­te Pro­fes­sor, Wes­tern Rese­arch Chair and Direc­tor of Indi­ge­nous Pla­ne­ta­ry Health at the Uni­ver­si­ty of Wes­tern Onta­rio and mem­ber of the Deni­nu K’ue First Nati­on, Dr. Olu­mi­de Abim­bo­la, Direc­tor of the Afri­ca Poli­cy Rese­arch Insti­tu­te (APRI) and Dr. Mar­tin Herr­mann, Chair of the Ger­man Alli­ance for Cli­ma­te Chan­ge and Health (KLUG) we will then have the chan­ce to address the fol­lo­wing ques­ti­ons at a panel dis­cus­sion:

• What kind of poli­tics, rese­arch agen­da and social action is requi­red to make a pla­ne­ta­ry health agen­da pos­si­ble?

• What set of poli­ci­es for health sys­tems are nee­ded in order to enable peo­p­le and the bio­sphe­re to stay within safe and just space for huma­ni­ty?

• What does the future of health in the Anthro­po­ce­ne era imply for poli­cy making, health care and public health ser­vices?
