Description
Summary:Achieving social and health equity on a healthy planet requires attending to the structural drivers of intersecting crises of global environmental change, social inequities, and health inequities. A diverse group of early career researchers have formed a new network aligned in advancing work that promotes planetary health equity. This Perspective articulates proposed future research directions emerging from shared understandings of intersecting governance and policy challenges, including sections on transdisciplinary and co-productive knowledge paradigms; political economy and governance; policy integration; and opportunities to advance planetary health equity. We present this agenda with reference to a range of substantive environmental- and health-related domains, including food systems governance, trade policy, energy policy, urban planning, and education. As early career researchers in the emerging field of planetary health equity, these future directions for research are intended to offer novel avenues towards the goals of social and health equity in a stable Earth system.
