In our ongoing series featuring stories of global health progress that inspire hope and action in the coming year, we celebrate that academic settings are doing more to acknowledge and address the close interconnection between the health of the planet and people. ⁠ At Stanford, efforts to build a new center dedicated to Human and Planetary Health, based at Stanford’s Woods Institute for the Environment and Doerr School of Sustainability, in close partnership with the Stanford Center for Innovation in Global Health and School of Medicine, moved forward this fall with the appointment of a faculty director, Steve Luby, and managing director, Allison Phillips.⁠ ⁠ The Human and Planetary Health initiative is already bringing together perspectives from environmental sciences, public health, systems thinking, policy, law, and other disciplines to achieve breakthroughs and find solutions that protect human health and address climate change.⁠ ⁠ Also this year, CIGH launched Medicine for a Changing Planet, a new online portal offering new educational resources to support health care providers in responding to emerging health threats caused by climate change and other environmental challenges. This tool was developed in partnership with the University of Washington’s Center for One Health Research and is free and accessible to all.⁠ Read more about Medicine for a Changing Planet here: https://lnkd.in/g7RufK-j #globalhealth #climatechange #planetaryhealth Photo credit: via Canva

I was just sort of applying things but without that deep level of understanding and so that was what it gave me."
