The concept of planetary health has been defined by The Rockefeller Foundation–Lancet Commission on planetary health report, as “….the achievement of the highest attainable standard of health, wellbeing, and equity worldwide through judicious attention to the human systems-political, economic, and social-that shape the future of humanity and the Earth’s natural systems that define the safe environmental limits within which humanity can flourish.”
The concept is based on the findings of the Stockholm Resilience Centre, nine planetary boundaries, which propose that we are in the “anthropocene era” where human activities are having substantial global effects on the Earth’s systems.
