Planetary Health: How humanity’s well-being and the planet's health are interconnected

In collaboration with The Rockefeller Foundation and the World Health Organization, the UN Climate Change secretariat’s Momentum for Change initiative hosted an event at the United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP 23) called Momentum for Change: Planetary Health. The event featured a high-level panel of experts who discussed how the new field of Planetary Health focuses on the interplay between human, animal and environmental health, and how it can ensure these systems are resilient, especially as national governments implement the Paris Agreement and the Sustainable Development Goals.
