Healthy Planet, Healthy People | Courtney Howard | TEDxMontrealWomen

Abstract

For too long we’ve put health and the environment in different boxes. The work of our generation is to bridge the two, to understand that in fact, they belong in the same box- that planetary health defines human health- ans that as we improve one, we will improve the other as well.Courtney Howard is a University of British Columbia and McGill-trained Emergency Physician who practices in Canada’s subarctic and is the Vice President of the Canadian Association of Physicians for the Environment (CAPE).
