Planetary Health - the idea that human health and the health of the
environment are inextricably linked - encourages the preservation
and sustainability of natural systems for the benefit of human
health. Drawing from disciplines such as public health,
environmental science, evolutionary anthropology, welfare
economics, geography, policy and organizational theory, it
addresses the challenges of the modern world, where human health
and well-being is threatened by increasing pollution and climate
change. A comprehensive publication covering key concepts in this
emerging field, Planetary Health reviews ideas and approaches to
the subject such as natural capital, ecological resilience,
evolutionary biology, One Earth and transhumanism. It also sets out
through case study chapters the main links between human health and
environmental change, covering: - Climate change, land use and
waterborne infectious diseases. - Sanitation, clean energy and
fertilizer use. - Trees, well-being and urban greening. -
Livestock, antibiotics and greenhouse gas emissions. Providing an
extensive overview of key theories and literature for academics and
practitioners who are new to the field, this engaging and
informative read also offers an important resource for students of
a diverse range of subjects, including environmental sciences,
animal sciences, geography and health.
