Planetary Health Studies
The PhD in Planetary Health Studies aims to understand and address the complex global health challenges, considering the interactions between health systems, the environment and social determinants. It will also seek to stimulate collaboration between health, environmental and social sciences and public policies, with a view to innovative and intersectoral approaches to protecting the health of populations and the planet.
It will train professionals capable of promoting health and well-being, developing multi-level (local, regional, global), sustainable and integrated solutions to emerging problems such as climate change, environmental degradation, social inequalities and pandemic threats.
