About Us
You will be part of the Planetary Health Equity Hothouse, an initiative supported by an ARC Laureate Fellowship on governance for planetary health equity, based in the Australian Research Centre for Health Equity at the ANU School of Regulation and Global Governance (RegNet).

RegNet is a dynamic community of scholars from different disciplines united by our interest in governance and regulation. For the last 20 years, RegNet has focused on improving the governance of major social, environmental, economic, and health issues by developing new ways of understanding and responding to these complex problems.
