Abstract

Planetary health cannot be achieved without breaking the siloed approach to the most crucial concerns of our time, from the climate emergency, to gender equity, to urbanisation, to the wealth gap—all of which are interconnected and fundamental to human prosperity in the coming decades. Born out of existing structures that are inherently elitist, ageist, and centralised in high-income countries, planetary health often struggles to mitigate the persisting disconnect between various stakeholders and constituents, thus delaying meaningful, lasting impact. It is time to democratise this space, balance the asymmetrical power structures, and leverage fearless voices challenging the status quo.
