Planetary Health
Planetary boundaries are thresholds of environmental stability beyond which abrupt and irreversible changes may occur. Crossing them risks catastrophic consequences for humanity’s ability to thrive on Earth. Therefore, we highlight current challenges such as climate crisis, food security, and environmental pollution.
We urge the G7 to:
- Strengthen inclusive and accountable climate finance, prioritizing planetary health in health policies, and prioritizing co-beneficial policies of the environment and health to tackle climate change.
- Pursue food security and nutrition and shift to sustainable food systems through intersectoral collaboration across health and agricultural sectors while respectfully incorporating Indigenous perspectives.
- Reduce environmental pollution, reduce reliance on fossil fuels, promote clean and environmentally friendly transportation systems, and regulate pollutants in urban areas.
- Accelerate contributions through global partners and invest in climate and disaster resilient sustainable quality infrastructure as necessary to achieving climate commitments and the SDGs.
