In 2015, the Rockefeller Foundation-Lancet Commission launched a report introducing a novel approach called Planetary Health and proposed a concept, a strategy and a course of action. To discuss the concept of Planetary Health in the context of Europe, a conference entitled: "Europe That Protects: Safeguarding Our Planet, Safeguarding Our Health" was held in Helsinki in December 2019. The conference participants concluded with a need for action to support Planetary Health during the 2020s. The Helsinki Declaration emphasizes the urgency to act as scientific evidence shows that human activities are causing climate change, biodiversity loss, land degradation, overuse of natural resources and pollution. They threaten the health and safety of human kind. Global, regional, national, local and individual initiatives are called for and multidisciplinary and multisectorial actions and measures are needed. A framework for an action plan is suggested that can be modified for local needs. Accordingly, a shift from fragmented approaches to policy and practice towards systematic actions will promote human health and health of the planet. Systems thinking will feed into conserving nature and biodiversity, and into halting climate change. The Planetary Health paradigm ‒ the health of human civilization and the state of natural systems on which it depends ‒ must become the driver for all policies.
2015 年，洛克菲勒基金会-柳叶刀委员会发布了一份报告，引入了一种名为“行星健康”的新方法，并提出了一个概念、一个策略和一个行动方案。为了在欧洲背景下讨论行星健康的概念，2019 年 12 月在赫尔辛基举行了一次名为“保护欧洲：保护我们的星球，保护我们的健康”的会议。会议参与者得出结论，需要在 2020 年代采取行动支持行星健康。《赫尔辛基宣言》强调了行动的紧迫性，因为科学证据表明，人类活动正在导致气候变化、生物多样性丧失、土地退化、自然资源过度利用和污染。它们威胁着人类的健康和安全。呼吁采取全球、区域、国家、地方和个人的举措，需要采取多学科和多部门的行动和措施。建议制定一个行动计划框架，可根据当地需求进行修改。因此，需要从零碎的政策和实践方法转变为系统的行动，以促进人类健康和地球健康。系统思维将有助于保护自然和生物多样性，并遏制气候变化。行星健康范式——人类文明的健康和它所依赖的自然系统的状况——必须成为所有政策的驱动力。
