Yokwe and Pinder spoke about the PHRC, which is a global student-led initiative to promote education about planetary health and environmentally sustainable healthcare on health sciences campuses. This is done through a metric-based report card. The 2024 version of the report card was published on Earth Day . The UCT branch of the PHRC has also been assisting Stellenbosch University, the University of the Witwatersrand, and the University of KwaZulu-Natal to establish branches on their campuses.
