About the innovation

Why did you create this innovation?

I created this innovation because many learners grow up without understanding how closely human health is connected to the health of the planet. Issues such as climate change, pollution, poor sanitation, and environmental degradation directly affect wellbeing, yet these links are often missing from everyday education. I wanted to create a simple and practical way for students to learn about planetary health in a meaningful and relatable manner. By integrating environmental and health education, this innovation helps young people develop awareness, responsibility, and the ability to take positive action within their schools and communities.

What does your innovation look like in practice?

In practice, the innovation is implemented through classroom lessons, group discussions, and hands-on activities that connect environmental issues to human health. Students participate in projects such as waste management initiatives, climate awareness campaigns, and community clean-ups. Teachers guide learners using simple educational materials, real-life examples, and collaborative learning approaches. Learners work in teams to identify local environmental challenges and propose practical solutions. The innovation encourages active participation, reflection, and community engagement, turning learning into✔ Clear motivation (the problem)
