Manifesto for Planetary Health

Human health cannot exist in isolation from the health of the planet. We propose a shift from a reactive, disease-focused medicine to a proactive, holistic approach where well-being is seen as a state of dynamic harmony between an individual, society, and the biosphere.

Key Principles:

• One Health: The health of humans, animals, and ecosystems are inextricably linked. Our goal is a salutogenic medicine that focuses not on fighting disease, but on creating the conditions for health at all levels.
• Proactive Bioethics: Technologies like genetic engineering and AI are developing faster than our ethical understanding. We must proactively develop a global ethical framework to guide these technologies, ensuring they serve the enhancement of consciousness and systemic harmony, not division and degradation.
• Mental Health as a Priority: A healthy society is impossible without psychologically healthy individuals. We advocate for prioritizing mental health, reducing societal stress, and fostering environments that promote mindfulness and emotional resilience.
