🌎 Malaria, migration and mining: planetary health at a crossroads

The Amazon is often described as the lungs of the Earth but it is also a frontline for some of today’s most complex planetary health challenges. From shifting migration patterns to expanding mining activities, environmental change is reshaping disease dynamics, livelihoods and health systems across Latin America.

In this session of Conversations in Planetary Health, we explore how land use change and economic activity intersect with malaria transmission, population health, and global environmental stability. Drawing on research across the Amazon and beyond, the discussion will unpack how local ecological disruptions can generate far-reaching health consequences. Join us for a timely dialogue on what a planetary health framework can offer in understanding and responding to these interconnected threats.
