Abstract

The Planetary Health movement is gaining significant traction in and around universities and organizations in North America and abroad. The Movement can be differentiated from the One Health paradigm, which recognizes that the health of people is connected to the health of animals and the environment,1 fitting into the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) mandate of preventing zoonotic infections and dealing with anti-microbial resistance for example.
