The Lancet Planetary Health Launch
This UK launch will celebrate the first three issues of a new Lancet journal aiming to inform and challenge our understanding of the links between the environment and human health. The Lancet Planetary Health builds on the foundation of the 2015 Rockefeller Foundation–Lancet Commission on planetary health. The journal is a monthly online, open access journal publishing original research, commentaries, and correspondence.
