Planetary health
Regenerative Design Primer, published by UK Architects Declare in March 2024, states:’ Whereas national health and global health are just about humans, planetary health is the idea that our health as humans is inseparable from the wellbeing of the living systems on which we depend for oxygen, water, nutrients and much more besides. Daniel Christian Wahl was an early advocate of planetary health in his postgraduate work, leading to the publication of his book (see below).’
