The interconnected crises of climate change, biodiversity loss, and pollution — collectively known as the triple planetary crisis — are intensifying, with profound implications for human health. These impacts will disproportionately affect Australia’s most vulnerable and disadvantaged populations. The Planetary Health Faculty serves to inform and prepare nurses to respond to these challenges through capacity and skills building, enabling them to protect and promote health in a rapidly changing world.
