We can not mitigate climate change if we do not measure it
What if we tried to change climate change?
Some of us are already doing it, and have not waited for a pandemic to discover the formidable interconnectedness that inhabits every portion of our Planet because this is not an epidemic that can be solved with a vaccine. Preventing what is inevitable requires the cooperation of everyone, no one excluded, starting with governments, administrations and industry down to the individual inhabitant.
The Earth is for everyone, but we are not all for the Earth: there is a common good to preserve, examples to pass on, and relationships that must become alliances, because now is the time to be all for the Earth, starting with yourself.
What it is
Planet Health Check is a multimedia platform with a socio-environmental impact, born from the idea that ‘”breath, as a primary vital act, creates a symbolic bridge between mind and body”.
Recent climate changes, caused by global warming and climate-altering gas emissions, expose the Earth to a series of well-known risks: abnormal heat waves, droughts, scarcity of agricultural production, reduction of biodiversity, shrinking ice and rising seas, and energy problems.
Eco-sustainability is one of the 17 Goals (SDGs) of the Paris Agreement (2015). Further data shown on planethealthcheck.com measure, among other things, the impact of “polizie” on a global level. Scientists, ecologists and economists have recently come to a common understanding: the solution on the climate issue is now also closely and inextricably linked to other issues, such as (i) education, (ii) the role of women in society, (iii) the food we eat (cultivation/agriculture), (iv) the taxes we pay (v) poverty in the World.
What we do
Let’s run the numbers! Although there are authoritative international organisations in charge of climate-change, none has ever bothered to activate a constant and real climate-change observatory in a “live” modality. This is what Planet Health Check is all about, giving the numbers* of our Earth’s situation, behaving as if it were the Earth’s “stock exchange”, where the quotations, to date, alas, are only going up.
You cannot mitigate climate change if you do not measure it. That is why numbers are important.
To whom it is addressed
Planet Health Check touches hearts and minds, performing a social and territorial service for all, becoming an hub of information for those who activate entrepreneurial and social policies with a high environmental impact based on the guidelines of the 2030 Agenda and involve non-profit stakeholders on the international circuit.

The Founder
It was conceived in March 2020 (during the lock-down caused by the pandemic) by Bergamo lawyer and project manager Paolo Rizzi, with the intention of monitoring air quality, its oxygenation level and CO2 level in real time.
