Planetary Health deals with:

  • the health consequences of the climate and environmental crisis,
  • health-promoting and environmentally sustainable strategies.

Planetary Health Behaviour encompasses human behaviour that influences the health of our planet and our own health. This behaviour can occur at the political, societal, or individual level - it starts with communication processes, encompasses individual behaviour, and extends to the acceptance of measures and support for system changes.
