We live in unprecedented times - the Anthropocene - defined by
far-reaching human impacts on the natural systems that underpin
civilisation. Planetary Health explores the many environmental
changes that threaten to undermine progress in human health, and
explains how these changes affect health outcomes, from pandemics
to infectious diseases to mental health, from chronic diseases to
injuries. It shows how people can adapt to those changes that are
now unavoidable, through actions that both improve health and
safeguard the environment. But humanity must do more than just
adapt: we need transformative changes across many sectors - energy,
housing, transport, food, and health care. The book discusses
specific policies, technologies, and interventions to achieve the
change required, and explains how these can be implemented. It
presents the evidence, builds hope in our common future, and aims
to motivate action by everyone, from the general public to
policymakers to health practitioners.
