By almost any measure, the human population is healthier than ever before(World Bank, 2011)
![Page 12: Urbanisation, Sustainable Development and Human Health ... 2019...Safeguarding human health in the Anthropocene epoch: report of The Rockefeller Foundation–Lancet Commission on planetary](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052013/602a6247906a1c0e0c7f1663/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
But in achieving this, we’ve exploited the planet at an unprecedented rate
![Page 13: Urbanisation, Sustainable Development and Human Health ... 2019...Safeguarding human health in the Anthropocene epoch: report of The Rockefeller Foundation–Lancet Commission on planetary](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052013/602a6247906a1c0e0c7f1663/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)

What is Planetary Health?
Put simply, planetary health is the health of
human civilisation and the state of the natural
systems on which it depends.

Planetary health is a social justice issue
![Page 16: Urbanisation, Sustainable Development and Human Health ... 2019...Safeguarding human health in the Anthropocene epoch: report of The Rockefeller Foundation–Lancet Commission on planetary](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052013/602a6247906a1c0e0c7f1663/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Mortality Impacts of Climate Change: Year 2000
14 WHO regions scaled according to estimated annual death rates
due to the change in climate since c.1970
(Patz, Gibbs et al, 2007: based on McMichael, Campbell-Lendrum, et al, 2004)
Estimated annual deaths due to climate change:
malnutrition (~80K), diarrhoea (~50K), malaria (~20K), flooding (~3K)

Cumulative Emissions of Greenhouse Gases
Countries scaled according to cumulative emissions (billions of tonnes CO2-
equivalent) up to 2002.
(Patz, Gibbs, et al, 2007)

Meeting the challenges
![Page 19: Urbanisation, Sustainable Development and Human Health ... 2019...Safeguarding human health in the Anthropocene epoch: report of The Rockefeller Foundation–Lancet Commission on planetary](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052013/602a6247906a1c0e0c7f1663/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Increasing access to modern family planning
More than 200 million women
who want to avoid pregnancy
are not using effective
contraception
Access to family planning could
cut maternal deaths by around
30%
Source: UN Millennium Development Goals Report 2012
Meeting the needs for
modern contraception in
low-income countries
would cost only an
additional $5.3 billion
per year

Circular economy
![Page 21: Urbanisation, Sustainable Development and Human Health ... 2019...Safeguarding human health in the Anthropocene epoch: report of The Rockefeller Foundation–Lancet Commission on planetary](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052013/602a6247906a1c0e0c7f1663/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Solutions lie within reach and require a redefinition of prosperity to
focus on quality of life and improved health for all, together with
respect for the integrity of natural systems
• Conceptual challenges: failures of imagination
(e.g. genuine progress measures)
• Governance challenges: failures of implementation
(e.g. wellbeing of future generations)
• Research and information challenges: failures of knowledge
(e.g. transdisciplinary research)

‘Human ecology’ as a way of
understanding patterns of
human health; alongside
‘epidemiology’ as a core
method in health promotion

Promoting heath in the AnthropoceneHow should we (IUHPE) respond?
1. Intergenerational health equity (‘Leaving no one behind’)
2. An eco-social approach: an approach that recognises the
ecological, economic and social foundations of health
3. Indigenous and local knowledge (ILK)
In sum, we need to bring a ‘planetary consciousness’ to
health promotion education, research, policy and practice
A ‘full’ enlightenment: moving beyond the partial one in the
Northern Hemisphere in the 17th and 18th centuries
