Science Translation for Policy and Practice

A new review highlights how nature-based solutions such as constructed wetlands, green infrastructure, and aquatic plants can remove up to 100% of microplastics from wastewater. The study explores the promise, challenges, and future potential of sustainable, ecosystem-based strategies for tackling one of today’s most pressing pollution threats.

Local stakeholders in Dagupan City joined Project TULIP’s human-centered design workshop to co-create community-based interventions addressing antimicrobial resistance, plastic pollution, and climate change. Through creative feedback, rapid prototyping, and prioritization activities, participants helped shape locally tailored solutions grounded in community needs and planetary health.

The Planetary Health Cluster organised its second Thematic Workshop bringing together the cluster’s projects’ modellers, researchers and policy specialists in Heidelberg for two days of dialogue to answer the question: how can data and modelling approaches best serve Planetary Health?
