Planetary Health will be defined, and the 2021 AHNA Planetary Health statement will be reviewed. Presenters will then discuss the impact of land management policies and practices and the physical and mental/emotional effects on health. The role of health care as a contributor to landfills and other long standing waste management practices will also be highlighted, and presenters will provide examples of how holistic nurses can effectively participate and partner in efforts to mitigate and minimize these by implementing sustainability efforts as part of their holistic nursing practice.
