Background

Earth

Human health is inextricably linked to the health of our planet. As such the importance of ensuring stewardship of natural resources and flourishing natural systems in order to positively impact human health is becoming clearly evident. 

From a health perspective, the diminishing health of the planet is negatively impacting:

  • Increasing extreme weather events

  • Poorer air quality

  • Increased food- and water-borne infections

  • Increased vector-borne diseases

  • Increased heat-related illnesses & death

  • Increased undernutrition

  • Increased occupational health related injuries

  • Increased mental health & civil conflict / violence
