INPA heads to Climate Week NYC 2026
We’re participating in events this September with partners like the Planetary Guardians and Planetary Health Alliance to highlight the connections between nature prescribing and planetary health.
We’re on a mission to improve community and planetary health
The International Nature Prescribing Alliance is a global, physician-led organization working to scale up the practice of nature prescribing worldwide. Through network building, curated resources and expert-led events, we’re advancing community and planetary health — one prescription at a time.
Watch this space for the launch of more resources and updates.

A Word from Our Founder
Human connection to nature has played a fundamental role in our health and wellbeing since time immemorial. Today, however, disconnection from nature contributes to trillions of dollars in health costs globally from conditions like anxiety, depression and heart disease.
The launch of INPA is arriving at a critical time. Not only does science tell us people are happier and healthier when they’re more connected to nature, but they also do more to protect it. Every nature prescription restores our connection to the land, builds planetary health values and action, and improves our wellbeing.
As Co-Founder of PaRx, Canada’s national nature prescription program, I’ve had a front-row seat to the exponential rise in research and practice at the intersection of nature and health in recent years. This field is at a global inflection point—and I'm grateful and excited to be on this journey with you, our community of supporters.
