DESCRIPTION:As part of the Cambridge Climate and Nature Research Showcase\

 to a special evening public lecture. The evening keynote lecture on the st
 ate of planetary health will be given by Professor Tan Sri Dr Jemilah Mahm
 ood (Executive Director\, Sunway Centre for Planetary Health\, University 
 of Malaysia\; Professor of Global Health). Abstract: We have built modern 
 medicine on top of a planet we are quietly dismantling. Drawing on three d
 ecades in disaster zones\, clinical practice\, international organisations
  and government\, what does it mean to take the health of the whole Earth 
 as seriously as the health of a single patient. This keynote explains\, in
  plain terms\, what planetary health is and how we make a planetary diagno
 sis legible — translating how a warming\, fraying Earth inpacts human li
 ves. It asks what universities are for in such an age\, why the communitie
 s healing people and those defending the planet still work apart\, and how
  our growing cities could become the place where they finally act as one f
 or inter-generational justice. Dr Mahmood is a member of the World Economi
 c Forum’s Global Future Council on Clean Air and co-chair of the Climate
  and Heath steering group. She was Special Advisor on Public Health to the
  Prime Minister of Malaysia during the COVID pandemic\, former Chief of th
 e World Humanitarian Summit at the United Nations and Under Secretary Gene
 ral of the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societie
 s. She is an ASEAN Prize-winner and founder of MERCY Malaysia\, a leading 
 humanitarian organisation from the Global South. The lecture will be follo
 wed by a fireside chat that includes Dr Mahmood\, Prof Emily Shuckburgh CB
 E FRMetS (Director of Cambridge Zero\, Chief Scientific Advisor\, DESNZ\, 
 UK Govt) and Prof Bhaskar Vira (Cambridge Pro-Vice-Chancellor for Educatio
 n and Environmental Sustainability). There will be time for audience Q&As.

 rs\, practitioners\, policymakers and members of the wider community for c
 onversations and connections. This event is open to all.
