The University of São Paulo will host, for the first time in the Global South, the 4th Planetary Health Annual Meeting 2021. The activities, organized in partnership with the Planetary Health Alliance, will be free of charge and virtual. To celebrate Earth Week 2021 and to close out the month of April 2021 with a continued commitment to our Earth and planetary health, we will have a full week of activities – Planetary Health Week – which includes the Planetary Health Annual Meeting and a Planetary Health Festival. Planetary Health Week will be April, 25-30, 2021.
The previous meetings were hosted, respectively, by Harvard University (2017), the University of Edimburgh (2018), and Stanford University (2019). This fourth Planetary Health Annual Meeting (PHAM 2021) will dive into the strategies needed to achieve planetary health for all. We will come together as a growing community of researchers, practitioners, policymakers, entrepreneurs, students, and more, to design actionable strategies to bridge communities to achieve the Great Transition.
Within the next few days, the international and Brazilian scientific communities are been called to send abstracts for the event through the meeting website: https://www.planetaryhealthannualmeeting.com/. The deadline is January 6th. More information is available at the website and also in the following PDF link: CALL FOR ABSTRACTS_ 2021PHAM_FINAL.
