The Cochrane editorial team warmly encourages Thematic Group members to submit proposals for new Cochrane systematic reviews. The Cochrane Planetary Health Thematic Group (CPHTG) can provide support and advice on this process as well as feedback on drafts to support successful peer review, and the CPHTG network can assist if you need specific expertise or extra hands to get the review done.

Cochrane is particularly interested in proposals that establish strong methodological standards or demonstrate innovation in methods, and those aligned with the priorities identified in the Scientific Strategy:

1. Reviews of interventions to help people cope with the effects of climate change, including strategies to improve water quality, food security, and disaster resilience and response.
2. Reviews of interventions to increase sustainability of health care, including strategies to reduce low value care, over-diagnosis and overuse of health care.
3. Reviews of public health interventions to reduce carbon emissions, promote clearer air and reduce plastic waste, including consideration of barriers and facilitators to implementation.
4. Reviews of interventions to reduce the planetary impact of health systems by reducing energy use, plastic waste and carbon emissions of medical supplies, practices and drugs.
5. Reviews of interventions to address the climate-related emergence of bacterial and viral infections, their transmission, and antimicrobial resistance.
