Abstract
Since the publication of the Rockefeller–Lancet
Commission Report on Planetary Health, interest in
planetary health has grown. Planetary health has been
defined as the health of human civilisation and the state
of the natural systems on which it depends. Planetary
health research focuses on quantifying the human
health effects of accelerating environmental change.
To catalyse innovative ideas among the disparate
yet integrally related fields, The Lancet will publish a
booklet of outstanding abstracts in planetary health
research, in conjunction with the annual meeting of
the Planetary Health Alliance on April 10–11, 2017, in
Washington, DC, USA.
