“ Planetary health is a solutions-oriented, transdisciplinary field and social movement focused on analyzing and addressing the impacts of human disruptions to Earth’s natural systems on human health and all life on Earth. ”
Throughout Brown University’s Division of Biology and Medicine, faculty and students are coming together to ensure students in all cohorts, from the undergraduate college to the medical school, have access to Planetary Health education. Efforts to date have included a formal commitment to longitudinally integrate Planetary Health throughout the curriculum at the Warren Alpert Medical School, implementation of a Planetary Health scholarly theme in the Health & Human Biology undergraduate concentration, and online asynchronous course offerings in Planetary Health accessible to undergraduates studying in any scholarly discipline.
