World Global Congress on Planetary Health
An Unprecedented Gathering with a Resounding Mission - Planetary Wellbeing
In May 2024,
Our lectures and workshops were centered on the pivotal theme of Animal Wellbeing and how a focus on animal health and animal wellness might be leveraged toward the goal of planetary health. Recognizing that individuals often extend greater care and resources towards the well-being of their animal companions than they may for themselves, we aim to explore how enhancing animal welfare can inherently foster healthier human communities.
We welcomed innovative speakers to lead transformative community discussions that placed animals at the forefront, driving a collective commitment towards a healthier and more sustainable planetary future.
