2. Earth and health under threat from human activities
• A report released by The Rockefeller
Foundation-Lancet Commission on
Planetary Health (2015), calls for
immediate, global action to protect the
health of human civilisation and the
natural systems on which it depends.
• The report provides the first ever
comprehensive examination of
evidence showing how the health and
well-being of future generations is
being jeopardised by the
unprecedented degradation of the
planet's natural resources and
ecological systems.
• The Commission warns that a rising
population, unsustainable consumption
and the over-use of natural resources
will exacerbate these health challenges
in the future.
• The world's poorest communities will be
among those at greatest risk, as they
live in areas that are most strongly
affected and have greater sensitivity to
disease and poor health.

• “Planetary health is based on the understanding that human
health and human civilisation depend on rapidly evolving
natural systems and the wise stewardship of those systems.

5. National Planetary Health Action Plan (NPHAP)
Realising how important the health of the planet is, ASM has forwarded a proposal
paper to develop a National Planetary Health Action Plan (NPHAP) to the National
Science Council (NSC). On April 8, 2022, the NSC decided for MOSTI through ASM in
collaboration ministries, industry, civil-society organisations (CSOs), non-governmental
organisation (NGOs) a National Planetary Health Action Plan in an integrated manner
driven by science, technology, innovation and economy (STIE).
The NPHAP aims to mainstream planetary health in national planning and policies
through a whole-of-nation approach to reflect Malaysia’s commitment and action toward
ensuring human health.
