Exploring “Planetary Health” in the Context of Earth System Governance
Chair(s): Kathryn Bowen (The University of Melbourne), Annabelle Workman (The University of Melbourne, Australia)
Presenter(s): Charles Ebikeme (London School of Economics and Political Science), Sharon Friel (Australian National University), Rosalind Warner (Okanagan College), Godfred Boateng (York University), Alexandre San Martim Portes (Australian National University), Scott Carlin (Long Island University)
This innovative session will bring together researchers, policy makers and practitioners interested in the concept of “planetary health” for a roundtable/workshop to discuss the diverse definitions of “planetary health” and what the evolution of the concept means in the context of the Earth System Governance project. Discussions from the roundtable will feed into the research agenda of the ESG Working Group on Planetary Health Justice.
The workshop will be designed to facilitate:
discussion on how planetary health synergises and differentiates itself from other concepts such as One Health;
agreement on the parameters of a working definition of “planetary health” for the purpose of advancing discourse around environmental, human and animal health in the Earth System Governance project;
meaningful knowledge exchange on existing evidence and application through presentations from select researchers, policy makers and practitioners in attendance; and
knowledge gap identification through brainstorming and workshopping with participants.
The session is intended to extend conversations within the community that have begun and will progress in 2023 through a special issue (currently being proposed and developed in consultation with ESG journal co-editors).
