„With CPHP, we want to make a decisive contribution to anchoring health equity and climate resilience in the health sector, thus making it a role model for other sectors and establishing planetary health as a central field of policy.“ 

„A societal debate on how health and wellbeing can be created within planetary boundaries and what the health system should do and should not do to achieve this, is urgently needed but so far lacking.“ 

„To address the urgent planetary crises and to ensure the planet’s habitability for future generations, planetary health needs to be anchored as a vision in all policies at national and international levels.“ 

„Protecting and improving health, reducing social inequalities and mitigating climate change – these goals have a shared agenda and require a policy that is systemically and pragmatically interlinked across sectors.“ 

„Political, social, and economic processes and structures must therefore be designed and governed nationally, as well as internationally, with a focus on safeguarding health and well-being for present and future generations while also preserving the habitability of the planet.“ 

„For all actors in the health sector, the principle ‘Do no harm’ applies, which must be widened in the Anthropocene. Harm to the environment must be avoided to safeguard (planetary) health, and prevention must be prioritised over cure.“ 

„In the field of climate and health we have to re-conceive the role of health professionals not least as citizens and scientists to engage in sustainable medicine and prevention-oriented politics – to make healthcare fit for today’s and tomorrow’s challenges.“
