Published in May 2022, One Health / One Planet offers wide-ranging perspectives on climate change, infectious disease, and the intersection between the two.  The digital magazine is a collaboration between the Aspen Institute Science & Society Program and the science outlet Leaps.org—with sponsorship by the Science Philanthropy Alliance.
