Abstract
The study aims to identify the design contributions in generating innovative solutions for human and planetary health published in peer-reviewed journals in the past five years and relate them to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). A systematic literature review was performed by mapping the current research on design and human and planetary health. The analysis allowed us to identify that the solutions generated consider SDG 3 in all studies. Other SDGs were also identified, aimed at the planet's sustainability, but in a more incipient way. The role of design has been identified as crucial to meeting global demands, but design still needs to focus more on other SDGs and the environment.

Design contributions in generating innovative solutions for human and planetary health
The study aims to identify the design contributions in generating innovative solutions for human and planetary health published in peer-reviewed journals in the past five years and relate them to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). A systematic literature review was performed by mapping the current research on design and human and planetary health. The analysis allowed us to identify that the solutions generated consider SDG 3 in all studies. Other SDGs were also identified, aimed at the planet's sustainability, but in a more incipient way. The role of design has been identified as crucial to meeting global demands, but design still needs to focus more on other SDGs and the environment.
