Topics: “Introduction to Planetary Health Japan HUB activities and international initiatives”

The Planetary Health Cafe & Bar (CAB) is a casual monthly gathering hosted by the Planetary Health Alliance Japan Hub, where we share the latest insights and stories from Japan and the global Planetary Health community. It’s a space for open dialogue, fresh ideas, and community connection.

We usually hold our sessions in Japanese, but for the first time, we’re opening the conversation to English speakers too! Join us as we share our ongoing activities and exciting collaborations with members of the global Planetary Health Alliance. Whether you’re new to Planetary Health or already part of the movement, everyone is welcome. Let’s think together about the future of our planet and our health — over a virtual drink!

(Additional Notes)

We hope that this PH Cafe & Bar will be a place where people from various fields can exchange information about PH without any borders by the conventions of planetary health in Japan, so please feel free to invite your friends even if you are not a member of this PHAJ-Network.

In addition, we will gradually get this PH Cafe & Bar on track, so we hope you will come up with various ideas on the day. Also, we will plan to have a joint Cafe & Bar with other countries too.

We look forward to as many people as possible participating!
