World Global Congress on Planetary Health
An Unprecedented Gathering with a Resounding Mission - Planetary Wellbeing
In May 2024, our lectures and workshops are centered on the pivotal theme of Animal Wellbeing and how a focus on animal health and animal wellness might be leveraged toward the goal of planetary health. Delve into innovative talks and transformative community discussions that place animals at the forefront, driving a collective commitment towards a healthier and more sustainable planetary future.
Recognizing that individuals often extend greater care and resources towards the well-being of their animal companions than they may for themselves, we aim to explore how enhancing animal welfare can inherently foster healthier human communities.

Endocannabinoid system support during acute stress to prevent maladaptive pain.
Dr. Conny Mosley | Canadian Association of Veterinary Cannabinoid Medicine (CAVCM)
​
The endocannabinoid system (ECS) plays a crucial role in maintaining homeostasis and providing healing support in the face of tissue damage and disease. The location of receptors (peripherally and centrally), mechanism of action of endogenously produced endocannabinoids, their neuromodulatory properties, and their close connection to the emotional aspect of the pain pathway, cannabinoids have been examined as a potential therapeutic solution for chronic refractory pain.
​
Notably, the idea of using cannabinoids as a preventative treatment to avoid central pain sensitization is a key topic explored in this lecture.
