Introduction
"Your Planet, Your Health" strives to summarise the science behind earth's climate and our existence on it –
Our aims are to contextualise the history of discourses and ideas about the environment and to debunk misinformation –
We share positive stories, and explore the knowledge and tools that we can use to be good earthlings.
This podcast on planetary health is hosted by Ralph Levinson, MD Health Sciences Professor (emeritus) School of Medicine, UCLA, and Luc Lewitanski, a journalist covering technology, politics and power.
Planetary health is about how the environment affects us and the people and the beauty in the world we love.
