The ultimate aim of planetary health is flourishing
along every level of the person, places, and planet continuum.
In an era of so many interconnected challenges,
there could not be a more important time
​for ambitious, integrative, approaches. 

We are thrilled to be holding our third conference with the Nova Institute!  Our agenda continues to underscore the imperative for creative ecological solutions for the challenges we face in all systems and all scales with advancing global urbanization in the digital age–for personal, environmental, economic, social and spiritual health alike. We aim to bring together diverse perspectives from across many dimensions of the arts and the sciences, as we explore novel solutions and new normative values. ​

We welcome any topic
​pertaining to improving health
of people, places and/or planet

This reflects our focus on understanding and improving the complex relationships between human health and planetary health. We seek to emphasize the socio-eco-biological interactions in our living environment (including urbanization, food systems, education, social inequity, climate change, biodiversity loss, and microbial ecology) that impact physical, mental and spiritual well-being, together with the wider community and societal factors that govern these. We continue to have a long-range vision which includes trans-generational and ‘life-course’ approaches to disease prevention and environmental restoration.  

We seek to bring together a tremendous network of like-minded people from diverse fields whose interests span from planetary/population/ environmental health to microbial ecology/ systems biology and the deep biological mechanisms—all aiming to work in a more integrated systems framework as we seek to improve personal, environmental, economic and societal health alike. As always, our emphasis is on meaningful collaborations and productive friendships as much as on the data and opportunities we generate.

Topics include:

• The Health of Environments on all scales: including natural and built environments, any and all dimensions of the ‘total exposome’ and interventions to improve these, including approaches to ‘rewilding’.
• Lifestyle health and Personal Ecology: including nutrition, activity, sleep, mindfulness, meditation, and other behaviors (and/or interventions) that influence personal ecology and wellness
• The Health of Societies and Systems: including the wider social, cultural and economic determinants of health, epidemiology, anthropology, and public health
• Community and local initiatives: grassroots efforts for change, case studies, stories that may inform and inspire others.
• The COVID-19 pandemic: including the broadranging consequences of the pandemic on any system and on any scale. Preliminary data and proposals are welcome.
• Microbial Ecology: Including microbiome ecosystems in humans, animals, diverse environmental systems, impact of human activity, antibiotics, and possible restorative interventions.
• Developmental Origins: including work that specifically focus on developmental approaches, early interventions, life course trajectories and transgenerational perspectives 
• Value Systems and Ideologies: including pathways, programs, philosophies, enablers, perspectives, mindsets and/or actions that promote personal, community, and/or planetary health
• Tools and Platforms: including technology platforms, novel tools, statistics or models to facilitate research and/or health initiatives in any sector. 
• Creative work: if you would like to share or display something you have created to inspire the group please do!
