Stanford Center for Human and Planetary Health

For too long, we have treated nature as an inexhaustible resource. As a result, humanity faces a health crisis of planetary dimensions. Unsustainable food systems, global warming, natural disasters, pollution, and biodiversity loss are impacting our lives and the natural systems that we depend on. Those least responsible for these crises are hit worst and first. Stanford’s Center for Human and Planetary Health is tackling these threats by seeking solutions that sustain nature and support human health. Bringing together environmental science, medicine, public health, law, and other disciplines, the Center is driving breakthroughs that change policy and business practices, and is preparing the next generation of leaders to accelerate this critical work. **Center for Human and Planetary Health** HPH is a joint effort of the Woods Institute for the Environment at the Doerr School of Sustainability and the Center for Innovation in Global Health at the School of Medicine.
