💡 How can local community-led initiatives inspire a European vision for One Health implementation? Community-led initiatives on sustainability such as eco-villages, transition networks, or permaculture movements, often serve as stewards of the earth, recognising that human and planetary health are really one and the same thing 🌱🌍 This roundtable will showcase successful examples of local citizen-led initiatives on planetary health and discuss how to connect local initiatives with larger policy frameworks such as the European Green Deal 📢 Learn more and register here 👉 https://lnkd.in/ezMXMJFe

On this #WorldEnvironmentDay, we highlight the profound connection between environmental health and human health. The World Economic Forum's report showcases the most pressing challenges we face in the coming decade. These risks encompass environmental, economic, technological, and social domains, shaping the future of our world. From critical changes in earth systems to natural resource shortages and pollution, the report underscores the urgent need for innovative solutions and global cooperation At ACCESS Health International, we are committed to promoting sustainable practices that benefit both our environment and public health. Together, we can build a healthier, more sustainable future for generations to come. #WorldEnvironmentDay #SustainableHealth #LandRestoration #InvestInOurPlanet #ACCESSHealthInternational #HealthyPlanetHealthyPeople #GreenEchoesLouder

🌍💚 World Environmental Health Day 2024 🌱🔬 On this important day, we recognize the vital link between the health of our environment and the health of our communities. As a soil scientist, I see firsthand how the quality of our soil, water, and air impacts every aspect of life—from the food we eat to the ecosystems we rely on. Sustainable practices and innovative solutions are essential to protecting our environment for future generations. Let’s commit to nurturing the planet with the same care we give to our own health. Together, we can create a healthier, greener future for all. 🌿 #WorldEnvironmentalHealthDay #SustainablePractices #SoilScience #EnvironmentalHealth #GreenFuture #InnovationInAgriculture

Such an important area of research, looking at just how positive the impact of exposure to natural environments and active engagement with them is for us all. Honest in what the data and analysis indicates, it shows we need to not only do more to increase access for all but monitor and understand the actions we take. We can then see what is most beneficial and what pitfalls there might be. Bathing in the outdoors great, but water pollution! Whatever your circumstances it's vital we as a National Park and the whole Protected Landscapes family do everything we can to enable greater access to, understanding of and active participation in our wonderful green and blue landscapes. Well done Natural England Well worth a read, don't be put off by the title.

This article is essential reading for anyone with an interest in sustainability. A common misconception and inadequate comprehension of physical boundaries and climate systems is the belief that wealthy nations' economies are automatically decoupling as a result of their annual carbon small emissions reductions. But Timothée Parrique goes into great detail about it here, so do yourself a favor and read this for five minutes.

New Publication! Looking Left: Ecologically Based Biosecurity to Prevent Pandemics Jamie K. Reaser, Rohit A. Chitale, Gary M. Tabor, Peter J. Hudson, and Raina K. Plowright Environmental conditions and human health are core contributors to national security. For decades, governments have been called to take a more comprehensive approach to biosecurity as a component of national security by broadening the concept of biological security to encompass ecological security. We define biosecurity, for the purposes of this commentary, as measures aimed at preventing the introduction and spread of biological organisms harmful to human assets, including human lives and livelihoods. In this context, we regard harm as processes that adversely impact the ability of ecological systems to generate ecosystem products (eg, fresh water, food, fuel sources) and services (eg, regulation of pests and disease). Highly influential institutions such as the World Health Organization acknowledge that “human health ultimately depends upon ecosystem products and services which are requisite for good human health and productive livelihoods.” Such acknowledgments recognize that the protection of human health is a paramount ecological service provided by nature... https://lnkd.in/ehEnDvqM

In the wake of global challenges to our natural world, the International Day for Biological Diversity reminds us of our interconnectedness with the environment. As we transition from agreement to action, we must translate our commitments into tangible measures to halt and reverse the loss of nature. #BiodiversityDay #ActForNature #ProtectOurPlanet #SustainableFuture #NatureConservation #EnvironmentalAction
