Our global environment is changing. We are now in a new geological era of the Anthropocene - dramatic human impact on Earth's biophysical conditions. Universiti Malaya, through Institute for Advanced Studies (IAS), spearheads the initiative and leadership by joining the Planetary Health Alliance (PHA).
PHA is a growing consortium of over 300 universities, NGOs, research institutes, and government entities from over 60 countries worldwide committed to understanding and addressing the impacts of global environmental change on human health and wellbeing.
On 27 August 2022, in conjunction with UM Planetary Health campaign, IAS hosted an interactive explorace embedded with educational activities while promoting a healthy lifestyle. 21 teams of contenders from UM staff and students participated in this inaugural UM Planetary Health Explorace at Rimba Ilmu - the green gem of UM.
