The Global Governance and Geopolitics of Environmental and Planetary Health - a Conversation
Welcome to join an exclusive talk between Warwick Anderson, James Dunk and Jakelin Troy from University of Sydney, Maria Nilsson from Umeå University and Petter Ljungman from Karolinska Institutet: led by Sverker Sörlin.
Sustainability is increasingly linked to a wider understanding to human well-being which broadens the base for relevant knowledge. Pandemics, disease, public health, food security, livable landscapes and functional soils and access and quality of water are just a handful of the dimensions that are of relevance for planetary health. The Division and the KTH Environmental Humanities Lab have engaged in a "Discovery project" based at the University of Sydney, Australia (funded by the Australian Research Council, ARC) exploring new avenues to address the rise and relevance of planetary health in a historical perspective with a view on future priorities. Planetary health will require international cooperation and is therefore linked to issues studied in another Division based project, SPHERE, on global environmental governance.
