WORLD HEALTH DAY 2022
Our Planet, Our Health
The Australian Global Health Alliance, in partnership with the Climate and Health Alliance, Australian WHO Collaborating Centre Network, Melbourne Climate Futures, and Monash Sustainable Development Institute are delighted to present an expert panel on World Health Day 2022 to celebrate and reflect on our past, present and future connections to this year’s theme: Our Planet, Our Health.
Many groups and individuals claim knowledge in the field of planetary health and global health, and it can sometimes be a cacophony of competing rather than joined interest to act.
Our expert panel will explore lived experiences facing floods and heatwaves in Australia and the region, the application and respect for all global and First Nation’s knowledge, and the processes and platforms we use to communicate for action – and for whom.
Living in the Anthropocene requires certain commitments of us all in our daily decisions and policy actions in order to address or strive to achieve planetary health: the health of human civilisations and the natural world on which it depends.
What can we do as individuals, institutions to promote Our Planet, Our Health and what should we do more of together?
Our discussion will be co-chaired by Australian Global Health Alliance Executive Director, Dr Selina Lo and Georgia Langmaid, a young generation lead in planetary health. Our resident artist Jessamy Gee will once again join us to assist in developing a visual representation of the discussion in all of its complexity.
Thursday 7 April, 2022 / 12:00 – 1.30pm AEST
All are welcome to this free, online event.
