Podcast Description
The Planetary Health Puzzle – Piecing Together a Sustainable Future
The increasing consumption of resources, advancing environmental pollution and a dramatic loss of biodiversity pose immense challenges for our society. How do these changes affect the health of humans, animals and nature? What impact do they have on mental health, social justice and food security? And how do these effects influence developments in society as a whole and political decisions? These questions are highly relevant and require inter- and transdisciplinary research in order to find answers and solutions and to support transformative change in societies.
The cross-faculty CAS Research Focus “Planetary Health” will address these questions and reflect on solution models. Collaboration between the various disciplines will enable a holistic and transdisciplinary approach to be taken, allowing a comprehensive view and identifying strategies for transformative change.
