The Chair of Planetary and Public Health would like to warmly invite you to join our event on Planetary Health topics during Sustainability Week (June 8 - 10).

The event is created to initiate a discussion based on a series of student-created videos that explore important Planetary Health topics, including fast fashion, planetary health diets, active travel, and lived experiences of climate change. Through these short films and the subsequent discussion, we aim to create an engaging space for reflection and dialogue on how our everyday choices and societal systems affect both human and planetary well-being.
