Johan Rockström, Gunhild Stordalen and Christer Fuglesang are among the headline speakers – and so is Anna Stubbendorff, an Agenda 2030 PhD student specialising in sustainable diets. Ahead of the Key Symposium, “Planetary Health – connect the dots. What saves the planet saves our health”, we asked her three quick questions about her research, her message, and what she hopes the event will achieve.
