Funding Information: The work was funded by a University College London Grand Challenges grant under its Place: Equality & Prosperity initiative. GS, LERP, and CW are supported through Stema. AC-G, IK, EM, and LERP receive funding from Belmont Forum by the UK's Natural Environment Research Council (grant number NE/T013656/1) and US National Science Foundation (grant number 2028065). Funding Information: Through the translocal health project, we worked with five CBOs from eastern India (Ekjut), Andean Peru (Casita Huaran), western Kenya (Sauti Dada), southern and northern Finland (HOPE), and southeast Alaska (Sitka Conservation Society). The translocal health project was initiated during the COVID-19 pandemic to better understand and support the work of small-scale CBO partners affected by the pandemic. All CBO partners were engaged in pandemic responses and were identified though our existing research networks. The translocal health project was facilitated by a team of academics in the UK and USA. The academic role was not to lead but to promote translocal connections through bringing together partners and providing a platform for mutual learning. The translocal health project was supported by a small grant from University College London Grand Challenges. Publisher Copyright: © 2023 The Author(s). Published by Elsevier Ltd.

We used a translocal learning approach to co-develop insights on community-based responses to complex health and environmental and economic crises with leaders from five organisations working with communities at the front line of intersecting planetary health challenges in Finland, India, Kenya, Peru, and the USA. Translocal learning supports collective knowledge production across different localities in ways that value local ...
