Seven of nine planetary boundaries have now been breached which means that humanity is pushing Earth's critical support systems beyond their safe operating limits.

 

The consequences are not distant threats but present realities: destabilized ecosystems, compromised food security, and mounting risks to human health and well-being.

 

Planetary health has emerged as the scientific discipline that connects these dots, revealing the profound interdependence between human health and the integrity of Earth's natural systems.

 

A STOA workshop brought together leading planetary health scientists and European policymakers to explore how this evolving discipline can inform transformative policy actions.
