Climate change, pollution, deforestation, and biodiversity loss pose escalating threats to planetary health. Scientific and technological innovations alone have proven insufficient to address these systemic challenges. In this paper, we argue for a complementary approach that addresses inner transformations alongside systemic change. One such approach is planetary empathy, a worldview that regards interconnection, justice, and sustainability as inseparable priorities.
The study presented in this paper aimed to develop and conduct a preliminarily validation of a new measure, the Planetary Empathy Scale (PES). Data analysis revealed a six-factor structure with strong reliability and validity. The PES provides a robust instrument for advancing research and education in planetary health. View this paper
Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) is emerging not only as a technological breakthrough but as a defining challenge for planetary health and global governance. Its potential to accelerate discovery, optimise resource use, and improve health system...
Planetary boundary transgressions occur as the result of a conflict between human-engineered systems and the natural life-support systems on Earth. In this paper, we validate the Berkana Institute’s Two Loops Theory of Change which posits that...

Air quality is a key priority in environmental policy agendas worldwide, yet rapid urban growth in developing countries disproportionately affects urban air quality. In sub-Saharan Africa, the spatial and temporal dynamics of key pollutants remain un...
The United Nations 2030 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) Agenda has been derailed by various events (e.g., COVID-19, economic crises, democratic backsliding, economic illiberalism, decreasing regard for human rights, and war). These events have d...
The planetary health approach has gained traction in academic and international governance spheres; however, its limited integration into education systems has hindered its emergence as a universal framework for addressing the triple planetary crisis...
This case study examines the experience of solastalgia among individuals residing in gold mining towns in Zimbabwe, particularly as environmental degradation intensified, to illustrate the experience of solastalgia through the expressions and reflect...
This study analyzes the relational architecture of Brazilian traceable beef exports using a tripartite network model that connects certified meatpacking plants, AgriTrace sustainability protocols, and importing countries. By leveraging export authori...
The hilly and mountainous regions of Nepal provide a suitable environment for the cultivation of large cardamom, a high-value cash crop with significant global market potential. However, climate change poses significant threats to its production and...
