The Lancet Planetary Health is a gold open access journal that seeks to be the pre-eminent journal for enquiry into sustainable human civilisations in the Anthropocene. As such, we publish peer reviewed Research and Reviews as well as Comment and Reportage broadly encompassing sustainable development (the SDG's) and global environmental change. We particularly favour work that contributes to our understanding of, and transition into, a safe and just space for humanity, respecting planetary boundaries and the social and economic foundations of a healthy life. We are interested in all important aspects of societal development and its interaction with the environment including the drivers of change, the implications of those changes for people and society, and practical policies and interventions for a healthier planetary future.

In keeping with other journals in the Lancet family, The Lancet Planetary Health offers rapid publication online within 8–12 weeks from submission. The journal is indexed in the DOAJ, MEDLINE/PubMed, and Scopus.

Submissions are subjected to The Lancet's usual rigorous standards of external and statistical peer review, and are edited by experienced copy editors to the highest standards.
