Population and planetary health
1 min read7 pages below
This branch covers scientific background on the social and environmental conditions of health, divided by the relationship involved: social determinants, nature exposure, One Health, climate, food systems and healthcare sustainability. It leaves the writer’s own sustainable practice to the profession, communication about disparities to equity and bias, antimicrobial resistance to its disease branch, and evidence appraisal to appraising and interpreting evidence.
- Health disparities and the social determinants of health — equity, documented disparities, social conditions, collective action and interventions
- Nature exposure and health — observed associations, exposure duration and type, causation and possible pathways
- What One Health and planetary health mean — definitions, collaboration, shared risks, institutions and upstream prevention
- One Health in practice — outbreak investigation, rabies control, veterinary medicines, water risks and conservation
- Climate change and health — direct and indirect effects, vulnerability, future risk and equitable climate action
- Diet, the food system and the planet — dietary change, environmental pressures, fish and production measures
- Sustainability in healthcare — concepts, measurement, impacts, trade-offs, goals, policy and communication
