Heartfile hosted the Pakistan launch of The Rockefeller Foundation-Lancet Commission Report on Planetary Health in Islamabad on July 24, 2015. The report, Safeguarding Human Health in the Anthropocene Epoch, provides the “first ever comprehensive examination of evidence showing how the health and well-being of future generations is being jeopardized by the unprecedented degradation of the planet’s natural resources and ecological systems”. Further details about the initiative can be accessed here.
