From 2011 – 2018, Dr. Bouley was at the World Bank where he established several of the first international programs in Planetary Health: founding the World Bank program on Climate Change and Health; launching the new field of Climate-Smart Healthcare; and serving as the originating author for the first UN-World Bank framework on One Health. Operationally, this work supported lending throughout Africa, Asia, and the Pacific, deploying technology-focused innovation and finance in environment, infectious disease, and agriculture. He led numerous publications, including the five-part 'Investing in Climate and Health' series and 'Framework for Strengthening Human, Animal, and Environmental Public Health Systems.'

Dr. Bouley has written and lectured widely on the relationship of human health to the environment and serves as a regular advisor to international organizations, governments, financial institutions, industry, and start-ups.
