 ROOTED INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM Resilience, Outreach and One-Health, Trees, Ecology & Diversity THEME: Reaching Out for Overlooked Topics in Ecology and Development At a time when climate change, biodiversity loss, environmental degradation, and public health challenges are increasingly interconnected, a growing international network is bringing together diverse voices to explore collaborative solutions. That network is ROOTED - Resilience, Outreach and One-Health, Trees, Ecology & Diversity. Taking place on World Environmental Health Day on Saturday, 26 September 2026 9:00 AM -4:00 PM EST (Toronto) 7:00 AM CST (Central Standard Time, such as in Saskatchewan). ROOTED was established with a simple yet ambitious vision: to make the world a better place than how we found it. Through collective advocacy, collaboration, education, and action, ROOTED seeks to strengthen the connections between people, animals, ecosystems, and communities while fostering solutions that promote environmental sustainability and social well-being. More than a conference or a single initiative, ROOTED is evolving into a platform for dialogue, partnership, and innovation among organizations, researchers, community leaders, environmental advocates, health professionals, educators, and policymakers from around the world. Looking Ahead to the United Nations Environmental Assembly 8 UNEA-8 Building upon the momentum of these conversations, ROOTED is now preparing for its next major milestone. In advance of the Eighth Session of the United Nations Environment Assembly (UNEA-8), scheduled for February 2028, ROOTED plans to host a hybrid pre-consultation summit in Toronto, Ontario, in September 2026. The event will be organized in collaboration with the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and strategic partners representing environmental, health, conservation, and community sectors. The summit aims to create a dynamic forum where participants can exchange knowledge, identify emerging challenges, and develop collaborative approaches to addressing some of the world’s most pressing environmental and social issues. By bringing together experts and practitioners from biodiversity conservation, climate adaptation, ecosystem restoration, public health, community development, and animal welfare, ROOTED seeks to strengthen cross-sector partnerships and advance integrated solutions that benefit both people and the planet.

"The simple act of planting a tree, which is in itself a practical deed, is also the symbol of a far reaching ideal, which is creative in the realm of the Spirit, and in turn reacts upon society, encouraging all to work for the future well being of humanity rather than for immdiate gain." Richard St. Barbe Baker |
