The Anthropocene, a period of unparalleled human impact on the natural systems that support civilization, defines our current era. Planetary Health delves into the diverse environmental challenges that pose a threat to human health progress, shedding light on their profound effects on a wide range of health outcomes, including pandemics, infectious diseases, mental health issues, chronic diseases, and injuries. It underscores the need for individuals and societies to adapt to these unavoidable changes through proactive measures that promote both health and environmental sustainability. However, mere adaptation is insufficient; transformative changes across various sectors, such as energy, housing, transportation, food, and healthcare, are imperative.
The book explores specific policies, technologies, and interventions aimed at driving the necessary change. It provides a comprehensive framework for implementing these solutions, highlighting the evidence supporting their effectiveness. Moreover, it instills hope in our shared future by presenting a vision of a healthier and more sustainable world. Its ultimate goal is to inspire action from a wide range of stakeholders, including the general public, policymakers, and healthcare professionals, in pursuit of a healthier and more resilient planet.
