Collaborations

We believe that tackling the complex challenges at the intersection of planetary health and sustainable care requires collective effort.

The Centre for Planetary Health and Sustainable Care actively cultivates collaborations with a diverse range of external institutions and organizations.

These partnerships span academic institutions, healthcare providers, government agencies, non-profit organizations, and community groups, both locally and globally.

Through these synergistic relationships, we aim to amplify our research impact, broaden our training opportunities, and translate knowledge into real-world solutions that advance both human and planetary well-being.
