This article from The Lancet introduces the role of education in creating planetary health and argues that
“children should be introduced early on to the linkages between the environment, animals, plants, and
human health, as well as the behaviours that they can adopt and action that they can take to protect their health and respect nature.” Early childhood is a key foundation for planting the seeds for lifelong
sustainable habits. This article provides references and links to further research highlighting the benefits
of climate education for societal change.
