description In the past century, the Earth has moved from the Holocene to the Anthropocene epoch, and the consequences both for planetary and human health have been profound. Scientific and technological progress has benefited humankind but at increasing cost to the planet. It has resulted in climate change, pollution, and biodiversity loss—the ongoing ‘Triple Planetary Crisis.’ To address this complex crisis, the 2024 conference titled “Joining Science and Theology to End Plastic Pollution, Protect Health, and Advance Social Justice” offered an interdisciplinary approach, bringing together science and ethics. Selected contributions from this conference are gathered in this volume.
