Project Planet4Health

PLANET4HEALTH project aims to deepen understanding on how environmental degradation impacts human, animal and ecosystem health.



Through collaboration with experts across disciplines, the project aims to support policy making processes and raise citizens awareness on sustainable planetary health, climate & environmental policies and adaptation & mitigation strategies to natural hazards.

PLANET4HEALTH will conduct research and look to draw overreaching conclusions from four tailor-made case studies focusing on pivotal areas:
1) Vector-borne diseases in the Iberian Peninsula
2) Air pollution and health in South Africa: towards forecasting and preventing ill health effects
3) Food safety in Central Europe
4) Mental wellbeing in environmental & climate context

These studies will span various geographical regions, leveraging the extensive project network to draw universal conclusions and replicable solutions that enhance predictive capability and preparedness.
