In a time of unprecedented change and global environmental challenges, Pathway to Planetary Health offers a guide to build confidence and momentum for taking meaningful action both personally and professionally. Grounded in evidence and designed to inspire, this tool supports individuals and communities to step into pro-environmental change with clarity and purpose.
The Pathway is built around six interconnected dimensions – Agency, Action, Ascension, Alignment, Alliance, and Advocacy – each offering a way to progress towards empowerment and impact. In pilot workshops, participants reported significant increases in their confidence to act for planetary health, showing the transformative potential of this approach.
Join us for a seminar introducing the Pathway, followed by an interactive workshop where you’ll explore how to apply it in your own context.
Preparation: Bring a laptop and/or notepad. All other materials will be provided.
