The Hothouse hopes to leave enduring legacies, including through capacity-building in technical expertise, knowledge mobilisation and networks to drive structural change for planetary health equity. Early career researchers and PhDs will be among the future leaders in the field of governance for planetary health equity. To help equip them with the necessary capabilities, the Planetary Health Equity Future Leaders Program brings together early career researchers and PhD students from around the world, who initially gather for 2 weeks in Canberra at the Hothouse. The program aims to build holistic minds by harnessing disciplinary strengths in public health, political science, and systems thinking. We will enable synthesising minds that traverse easily between disciplines and sectors; creative minds that develop innovative methodological toolkits and theoretical frameworks to examine governance for PHE; ethical minds with a commitment to doing research that matters for society and the planet; and respectful minds through impactful engagement.
