dc.description.abstractHuman-induced alterations to the Earth’s climate, primarily through the release of greenhouse gases, have far-reaching implications for ecosystems and both human and non-human health. However, treating climate change exclusively as an external force continues to limit human potential to effectively address it. This introductory chapter to the book “Planetary Health and Climate Change” explores concepts aimed at bridging the chasm created by this separation, while addressing the socio-ecological hurdles humanity currently face. Despite these efforts, there remains a lack of imagination, a vital aspect to envisioning alternative scenarios and solutions. Among these complexities, the concept of planetary health emerges as a holistic framework that goes beyond conventional public health paradigms. This chapter also delves into the idea of convergence, i.e., a combination of perspectives, disciplines, and approaches to navigate through complex socioecological challenges. It highlights the importance of moving beyond binary thinking and embracing varied worldviews to tackle compounded crises. Through convergence with the lens of planetary health, we can redefine health, prioritize cooperation over competition, and empower ourselves to address the challenges posed by a changing climate.eng
