The vision of healthy living on a healthy planet focuses on the inseparability of human health and nature, and thus on an extended understanding of health.

Our lifestyle is making us ill and is destroying the natural life-support systems. In the vision of ‘healthy living on a healthy planet’, human spheres of life – what we eat, how we move, where we live – are designed to be both healthy and environmentally compatible, and planetary risks – climate change, biodiversity loss, pollution – have been overcome. This report by the WBGU explores how to create and implement development paths that do justice to people and nature, prioritising healthy lifestyles that simultaneously protect nature.
