Consistency with quantum gravity can impose non-trivial constraints at low energies, even if the Planck scale is at very high energy. The Swampland program aims to determine the constraints that an effective field theory must satisfy to be consistent with a UV embedding in a quantum gravity theory. This has led to new quantum gravity constraints, motivated by black hole physics and string theory, that can be used as new guiding principles to construct beyond standard models of Particle Physics and Cosmology. They might also provide the missing piece to solve the long-standing naturalness issues observed in our universe. In this talk, I will review the most important Swampland conjectures and recent developments regarding their connections and phenomenological implications.
