“…Health, as a complex phenomenon, depends on the social structure and is determined by conditions that can be integrated into a tripod of sustainable development: economic development (economic growth, combating poverty, reducing social inequalities); social development (demography, economy and income, women’s empowerment, education, governance, health system structure); and environmental protection (geography, basic sanitation, safety, sustainable energy sources and others). From this perspective, the promotion of planetary health is the result of human activity that includes efforts to (re)construct transdisciplinary, inseparable and multidimensional educational processes ( 25 , 26 ) .…”

The aim is to conduct theoretical reflection on the inseparability among public health, planetary health and the nursing process in light of complexity thinking, with the aim of contributing to healthy and sustainable development. Study with a theoretical-reflexive approach that accessed bibliographical sources from contemporary authors who defend the inseparability between public health and planetary health and, at the same time, provide theoretical-systemic support to the nursing process, under an inductive critical bias. The nursing process is conceived as a complex phenomenon, which comprises interdependent dynamics, dialogical approaches, critical-reflective perception and prospective leadership. Theoretical reflection on the nursing process and sustainable development raises an expanded, contextualized and interdependent look at the role of nursing professionals in different health contexts, in order not to compromise well-being and environmental health.

“…There have been calls from Global South (GS) educational leaders to consider particular social and environmental conditions in the GS when developing curricula to promote sustainability. [19][20][21][22] Growing consensus suggests that people in the GS and vulnerable and marginalised communities in the GN bear the worst impacts of global environmental and economic change. 19,23 Hence, there has been concomitant global protest, agency and attention directed at equity and diversity as well as how the related decolonial dialogue on climate change has intersected within the space of HPE.…”

“…In HPE, an orientation to sustainability must attend to futureproofing in the context of rapid globalisation and internationalisation along with rising calls for equity, diversity and inclusion.

BackgroundHealth professions education (HPE) must keep pace with rapid shifts in learning and societal contexts, control of resources, knowledge and environmental concerns. Sustainability is increasingly seen as complex, balancing the three pillars of economy, society and the environment and addressing the current generation's needs without compromising future generations' needs. We aim to orient three‐pillar sustainability in (HPE) from a decolonial global perspective.Conferences as truth‐regimesFuture‐proofing imperatives compel HPE to respond to sustainability calls in contexts of globalisation and internationalisation. International conferences are sites of power in knowledge production and dissemination because themes and invited speakers determine who experts in the field are and what knowledge is important. Scholarly communities, dominating the discourse, determine the nature of reality or ‘truth’ (ontology), theoretical foundations of that reality and approaches to knowing (epistemology). Using one international conference as a case study, we found few scholarly presentations on sustainability, especially economic disparities. Discourse in HPE is still dominated by Global North ‘experts’.ImplicationsConferences are important discursive spaces for knowledge production and exchange. Increasing attention to social justice and planetary health must include a global perspective on three‐pillar sustainability. Historical and contemporary perspectives about disparities on health should exceed Eurocentric epistemologies alone. These are areas ripe for innovative research in HPE. Promisingly, there is increasing attention to curricula around health equity, disparities and clinical rotations in rural and underserved communities among educational institutions around the world.ConclusionsFuture‐proofing HPE requires addressing three sustainability pillars simultaneously. Conferences as influential knowledge production spaces are mostly characterised by Global North to South flow of knowledge. Global North‐dominated discourse fails to reflect on the impact of historical disparities including colonialism that thwart equivalence. Transforming HPE can occur through a sustainability perspective that advances three‐pillar global approaches for inclusive global legitimacy in HPE narratives and standards.

“…A saúde planetária está se consolidando como campo de estudo transdisciplinar, orientado à análise e à mitigação dos impactos das desigualdades e ações antropogênicas sobre os ecossistemas terrestres e a saúde humana (Leal Filho et al, 2022). A degradação ambiental, historicamente promovida por grupos humanos hegemônicos, produziu modificações planetárias já irreversíveis, a ponto de configurar uma nova era geológica -o antropocenocuja consequência mais evidenciada é o aquecimento global.…”

Resumo A saúde planetária vem se consolidando como área transdisciplinar do conhecimento, fundamentada na caracterização e mitigação dos impactos antropogênicos sobre a saúde do ser humano e dos sistemas terrestres. O estilo de vida em sociedades capitalistas impulsiona a degradação ambiental e suas consequências (como emergência climática e perda de biodiversidade), relacionando-se também à alta prevalência de doenças crônicas não transmissíveis. No entanto, essas questões não costumam receber a atenção necessária no processo de ensino e aprendizagem dos profissionais de saúde. Assim, este ensaio objetiva contribuir para sistematização das informações que correlacionam os fatores ambientais e a saúde humana na perspectiva do pensamento sistêmico, destacando a importância de se pensar a saúde sistêmica no âmbito das profissões da saúde. Observa-se que o profissional de saúde, sendo ponte entre o conhecimento científico e a sociedade, pode desempenhar os papéis de mediador do cuidado integral e curador do conhecimento. Além disso, é preciso incentivar o pensamento sistêmico no processo formativo em saúde para que esses papéis sejam alcançados, tanto em atitudes individuais quanto coletivas.
