%X Abstract The term planetary health¡ªdenoting the interdependence between human health and place at all scales¡ªemerged from the environmental and preventive health movements of the 1970¨C80s; in 1980, Friends of the Earth expanded the World Health Organization definition of health, stating: ¡° health is a state of complete physical, mental, social and ecological well-being and not merely the absence of disease¡ªpersonal health involves planetary health¡±. Planetary health is not a new discipline; it is an extension of a concept understood by our ancestors, and remains the vocation of multiple disciplines. Planetary health, inseparably bonded to human health, is formally defined by the inVIVO Planetary Health network as the interdependent vitality of all natural and anthropogenic ecosystems (social, political and otherwise). Here, we provide the historical background and philosophies that have guided the network, and summarize the major themes that emerged at the 7th inVIVO meeting in Canmore, Alberta, Canada. We also provide the Canmore Declaration, a Statement of Principles for Planetary Health. This consensus statement, framed by representative participants, expands upon the 1986 Ottawa Charter for Health Promotion and affirms the urgent need to consider the health of people, places and the planet as indistinguishable.
