ABSTRACT
This chapter examines the concept of planetary health as a translation of the conceptualization of human health from the global to the planetary. It argues that the translation of global health to planetary health neglects the critical insights provided by concepts like ‘society’, ‘culture’, and ‘economy’ in explaining health issues and driving political change.
Moreover, it is claimed that adding insights from translation studies to the Sociology of Translation makes it possible to better understand planetary health.
