Helen Clark & Richard Horton. Launch of the Planetary Health Platform
Date and time
Description
We are pleased to announce that Helen Clark, former Prime Minister of New Zealand (1999-2008) and Administrator of the United Nations Development Programme (2009-2017), will launch the University of Sydney's new Planetary Health Platform, following a public lecture about planetary health delivered by Richard Horton, Editor-in-Chief of The Lancet.
Planetary Health is about safeguarding the health and wellbeing of current and future generations through good stewardship of Earth's natural systems, and by rethinking the way we feed, move, house, power and care for the world. Planetary health provides an integrative conceptual framework for the implementation of the 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals.
The launch will be followed by a reception with light refreshments.
