“Planetary Health are the actions aimed at preserving and enhancing all dimensions of the human being while ensuring the persistence of the biological and environmental surroundings. The main contribution of Planetary Health is the multifaceted and systemic nature of its actions. It places vital importance on all health determinants, including social, cultural, and socio-economic factors, as well as physical, mental, and spiritual aspects. It promotes an appropriate relationship with the environment that preserves and even enhances its development and diversity, enriching the human experience within the environment and on the planet. This gives us and future generations the opportunity to develop all our potential in full harmony with the natural environment.”
