The Education Working Group aims to plan and implement the integration of planetary health into education and training at all levels, from nursery school to professorships, from internships to the corporate boardroom, including developing and designing curricula and curriculum materials. A key facet of this is discussing the extent to which planetary health topics are integrated with rather than displacing or replacing, existing learning and training.
Working Group Leads: Jennifer Cole (jennifer.cole@rhul.ac.uk) and Cristina Ocallaghan (cristina.ocallaghan@isglobal.org)
The Policy and Advocacy Working Group aims to be the interface between views and insights from members of the Planetary Health European Hub and governments, parliaments and other relevant (academic) actors in the European area, to further strengthen the position of Planetary Health on the political agenda, further integrate the concept of Planetary Health and sustainability into various policies, strategies, and policy agendas, and to support enhanced policy coherence and vertical coordination in support of Planetary Health at international, national, regional and local levels.
Working Group Lead: Pauline de Heer (paulinedeheer@gmail.com)
The Research Working Group aims to improve scientific dialog across disciplines that is currently hampered by the use of different concepts, approaches, methods, and even social and cultural constructs. Sharing the personal experiences of embracing the planetary health approach may help to facilitate a mutual understanding and facilitate cross-disciplinary empathy and collaboration.
Working Group Leads: Francesca Costabile (francesca.costabile@artov.isac.cnr.it) and Peter Stenvinkel (peter.stenvinkel@ki.se)
The Community Building Working Group aims to serve as a connector across European and key non-European planetary health partners. Community building and planetary stewardship: to create European societies who grasp the importance of acting in synergy to protect the planet and living things.
Working Group Lead: TBD
