Jump to first hit This manifesto for transforming public
health calls for a social movement to support collective public health action
at all levels of society--personal, community, national, regional, global, and
planetary. Our aim is to respond to the threats we face: threats to human
health and wellbeing, threats to the sustainability of our civilisation, and
threats to the natural and human-made systems that support us. Our vision is
for a planet that nourishes and sustains the diversity of life with which we
coexist and on which we depend. Our goal is to create a movement for planetary
health. Our audience includes health
professionals
and public health practitioners, politicians and policy makers, international
civil servants working across the UN and in development agencies, and academics
working on behalf of communities. Above all, our audience includes every person
who has an interest in their own health, in the health of their fellow human
beings, and in the health of future generations. The discipline of public health is critical
to this vision because of its values of social justice and fairness for all,
and its focus on the collective actions of interdependent and empowered peoples
and their communities. Our objectives are to protect and promote health and
wellbeing, to prevent disease and disability, to eliminate conditions that harm
health and wellbeing, and to foster resilience and adaptation. In achieving
these objectives, our actions must respond to the fragility of our planet and
our obligation to safeguard the physical and human environments within which we
exist. Planetary health is an attitude
towards
life and a philosophy for living. It emphasises people, not diseases, and
equity, not the creation of unjust societies. We seek to minimise differences
in health according to wealth, education, gender, and place. We support knowledge
as one source of social transformation, and the right to realise,
progressively, the highest attainable levels of health and wellbeing. Our patterns of overconsumption are
unsustainable and will ultimately cause the collapse of our civilisation. The
harms we continue to inflict on our planetary systems are a threat to our very
existence as a species. The gains made in health and wellbeing over recent
centuries, including through public health actions, are not irreversible; they
can easily be lost, a lesson we have failed to learn from previous
civilisations. We have created an unjust global economic system that favours a
small, wealthy elite over the many who have so little. The idea of unconstrained progress is a
dangerous human illusion: success brings new and potentially even more
dangerous threats. Our tolerance of
neoliberalism and transnational forces dedicated to ends far removed from the
needs of the vast majority of people, and especially the most deprived and
vulnerable, is only deepening the crisis we face. We live in a world where the
trust between us, our institutions, and our leaders, is falling to levels
incompatible with peaceful and just societies, thus contributing to widespread
disillusionment with democracy and the political process. An urgent transformation is required in our
values and our practices based on recognition of our interdependence and the
interconnectedness of the risks we face. We need a new vision of cooperative
and democratic action at all levels of society and a new principle of planetism
and wellbeing for every person on this Earth--a principle that asserts that we
must conserve, sustain, and make resilient the planetary and human systems on
which health depends by giving priority to the wellbeing of all. All too often
governments make commitments but fail to act on them; independent
accountability is essential to ensure the monitoring and review of these
commitments, together with the appropriate remedial action. The voice of public health and medicine as
the independent conscience of planetary health has a special part to play in
achieving this vision. Together with empowered communities, we can confront
entrenched interests and forces that jeopardise our future. A powerful social
movement based on collective action at every level of society will deliver
planetary health and, at the same time, support sustainable human development. European Space Agency/Science Photo Library
