Who we are:
- Clinicians are people providing healthcare for individuals and communities. This includes physicians, physician assistants, nurses, nurse practitioners, midwives, dietitians, healers, health workers, and others.
- Over 1,000 clinicians from around the world have formally signed on to the Clinicians for Planetary Health initiative, expressing their commitment to addressing global environmental change and its health impacts. A subset of these individuals are involved in the Clinicians for Planetary Health
working group.
- Over 30
partner organizations co-signed the global call-to-action released in The Lancet on Earth Day 2019, which called on health communities around the world to take action on Planetary Health.
Our approach:
- Developing outreach materials for healthcare settings that encourage individual- and community-level Planetary Health action, with an emphasis on health and environmental co-benefits
- Convening periodic calls to brainstorm, network, and exchange resources to build commitment to Planetary Health across the healthcare sector
- Sharing resources and stories of success through a newsletter, blog series, and podcast
