Abstract:
Human activity is causing a triple planetary crisis; climate change, air pollution, and environmental degradation are harming the health of all living things. A planetary health framework is now needed. This means that nurses must understand that human health and the health of the environment are inextricably linked, and that health promotion is applied to both humanity and the natural world. The purpose of this article is to provide examples of the impact of the triple planetary crisis on human health across the life-course and recommend ways for nurses to address them through downstream, midstream, and upstream approaches.
