Educating for a Healthy Planet and People: Strengthening Partnerships on the Road to COP30
- This event has passed.
6th November 2025 , 1:00 pm – 8:00 pm
Join us and colleagues from the Planetary Health Alliance as we explore the role of Planetary Health education in preparing societies for the urgent transitions demanded by the climate crisis; aligning with COP30’s agenda, the broader UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and building upon the Planetary Health Educational Framework, developed by the Planetary Health Alliance.
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 under-utilised 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.
