Planetary Health
Our health is inextricably linked to nature – to clean air and water, healthy soils, stable ecosystems, and a livable climate. This interplay between humans, animals, and the environment – Planetary Health – is one of the greatest challenges of our time.
For decades, Swiss TPH has been researching these topics and developing solutions for a healthy future. From the consequences of climate change and sustainable nutrition to the effects of urbanization: together with partners worldwide, we are working to protect the health of people and the planet.
