As humanity faces converging crises—from climate change and biodiversity loss to pandemics and food insecurity—it is increasingly clear that people's health is inseparable from the planet's health. Planetary Health offers an integrated, transdisciplinary framework that addresses these interconnected challenges by placing human well-being within the context of Earth’s natural systems.

While COP30 (to be held in Belém, Brazil) represents a critical political moment to advance climate action globally, education remains a powerful yet underleveraged lever for long-term transformation. Embedding approaches such as Planetary Health into education systems—from primary schools to professional training—can empower citizens, leaders, and communities with the knowledge, values, and skills necessary to co-create a sustainable and equitable future.

This event seeks to explore the transformative role of education in preparing societies for the urgent transitions demanded by the climate crisis, aligning with COP30’s agenda and the broader Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and building upon frameworks such as the Planetary Health Educational Framework, Education for Sustainable Development, and One Health education, among others. The synergies among these initiatives must be explored, as they share a common goal: educating for a healthy planet.
