Abstract

Planetary health links human well-being with nature, offering a path to sustainability and economic resilience. The COVID-19 pandemic exposed vulnerabilities in health systems and the global economy. Initiatives like the Pandemie Agreement, efforts to curb antimicrobial resistance, and the European Health Data Space present opportunities to reshape economic models around health and well­being. By valuing health as an investment, embracing digital and green innovation, and centring planetary well-being in policy, these efforts can drive transformative change. This plenary will explore these themes and the European Union's role in advancing them.
