3-Year Strategic Plan

3-Year Strategic Plan (2026-2028)

Building on the insights and experiences of our inaugural year, the Institute for Planetary Health’s 3-year strategic plan (2026-2028) refines and strengthens our initial priorities and commitment to catalyzing Planetary Health scholarship and practice at JHU in service to the world through JHIPH’s partnership with the Planetary Health Alliance.

Why Planetary Health at Johns Hopkins?

As America’s oldest research university, Johns Hopkins has long been at the forefront of cutting-edge discovery and addressing global challenges. Johns Hopkins leadership understands that Planetary Health is an urgent global challenge that needs a whole of society – and therefore a whole of university – approach to find ways to address the deep structural transformations needed to create a just and thriving future.  

As outlined in JHU’s Climate Action and Sustainability Plan, JHU’s goals for research, teaching, and scholarship are solutions oriented and focused on leveraging JHU’s transdisciplinary expertise to lead much-needed innovation while preparing its students and communities for a rapidly changing world. In April 2024, JHU launched the Johns Hopkins Institute for Planetary Health (JHIPH) to accelerate cross-university collaboration that expand the horizons of transdisciplinary discovery, while activating solutions.
