The health of humans and our communities is inexorably tied to the health of our planet. As has been made evident by health emergencies such as the COVID-19 pandemic and global climate change, our health and wellbeing is affected by the actions we take on our physical environment.

Our invited speaker, Dr. Renzo Guinto, will share about this new scientific field and social movement, the pressing challenges confronting the health of both people and the planet today, and how global health practitioners can integrate a planetary health lens into their healing mission.
