Practically, planetary health presents a new way to approach and solve problems. For example, there is alignment at the highest levels with global policy frameworks – primarily the Convention on Biological Diversity Aichi Biodiversity Targets, the Paris Climate Agreement, and the Sustainable Development Goals – which will require collaboration across sectors to make progress. While this alignment validates integrated concepts like planetary health, it also highlights the need for these concepts to be much more actionable, so that they can be easily taken up by government decision makers as a way to achieve goals.
