Review Of Disciplinary Contributions To Planetary Health Collaborations Focused On Sustainable Urban Development: An Integrated Approach To Sustainable Development Goals 3.9 & 11.3

Planetary health argues that urban and natural environment and health are indivisibly linked, in this regard, a growing number of emerging interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary approaches, under the auspice of planetary health, have been developed to focus on addressing sustainable development goals numbers 3.9 and 11.3. This is a systematic literature review of transdisciplinary approaches to planetary health focused on addressing SDG 3.9 and 11.3. A systematic literature review search was conducted in five databases and Google Scholar from April 4th to 30th May 2018, applying inclusion and exclusion criteria. The search uncovered 232 articles from which 57 relevant articles were selected and synthesised for the study. The findings of the review reveal potential disciplinary contributions across the environment, health governance, ecological public health, health geographies, global health governance, and sustainable development that could theoretically address planetary health challenges, through transdisciplinary collaborations. Furthermore, the findings highlight how transdisciplinary collaborations for planetary health draw attention across different levels of decision-making could benefit from the disciplinary contributions. Addressing planetary health requires methodological approaches and coordinated actions that mitigate environmental change impact on human health from the targeted disciplines, through an effective environment and health governance mechanism, at both local and international levels, utilizing Sustainable Development Goal 3.9 & 11.3 stipulations
