The third People and Planet Conference will be held from 24 to 26 March 2026 in Lahti, Finland. More information will be updated soon.
The third People and Planet Conference will bring together researchers, businesses, and practical actors to explore scientific findings and innovative solutions for planetary health. Together, we will examine the synergies and contradictions between biodiversity, health, and the economy, and discuss how to foster vibrant regions that benefit both people and the rest of nature.
Our aims are:
To turn scientific knowledge into practice,
To break silos between sectors and disciplines,
And to foster opportunities for collaborative action.
We welcome diverse perspectives, recognizing that addressing planetary health requires critical dialogue to understand the complexity of sustainability issues and our societies. In this spirit, we encourage open exchange and thoughtful debate. At the same time, we align with the call to urgency emphasized in the 2019 Helsinki Declaration: action is needed immediately. Therefore, the conference will also highlight concrete solutions to inspire bold and informed operations and action.
We invite you to contribute, whether through scientific research or practical initiatives. The call for sessions and abstracts will open soon. Stay tuned!
