To address these issues, health professionals, including future physicians, need to be educated in planetary health and sustainable healthcare. This article discusses possible content for pre-graduate education in planetary health and methods of implementation in the curriculum. It outlines several projects carried out in medical universities in Switzerland and underlines the effectiveness of students-led initiatives supported by faculties.
