“Planetary Health” is a relatively new concept on the public health landscape. It is one manifestation of a broader movement which seeks to reorganize, and perhaps revolutionize, public health in response to global environmental challenges, especially climate change. This talk discusses how to think about the ethical foundations of planetary health and its role in shaping the future.

Stephen M. Gardiner is Professor of Philosophy and Ben Rabinowitz Endowed Professor of Human Dimensions of the Environment at the University of Washington, Seattle. His main areas of interest are ethical theory, political philosophy and environmental ethics. His research focuses on global environmental problems (especially climate change), future generations, and virtue ethics.
