Science is always evolving. And, this week, an international research commission called for the creation of a new field of medicine- planetary health.
The commission was formed by the Rockefeller Foundation and the British medical journal The Lancet. The commission investigated the links between Earth's natural systems and human well-being, looking at how climate change and resource depletion cause problems like infectious disease and malnutrition. Helen Clark, administrator of the U.N. Development Program, said in a video statement, "The concept of planetary health offers a new way of thinking about the health of our planet and its resilience in the face of pressures like climate change, urbanization and globalization, to name just a few" She added, "This report is a very important guide for how the world could change course."
