Excellent- More about Sustainable Communities for a Healthy Planet
Sustainable Communities for a Healthy Planet offers unconventional ideas, practices, and ways of living to enable long-term human and planetary health, disrupting dominant ideas about mental health, ageing, and chronic illness, circumventing exploitative markets, and embodying alternative, more inclusive ways of practicing medicine. It challenges conventional ways of thinking about the future of health systems and asks hard questions about what it takes to cultivate human and planetary health in a time of rapid ecological, economic, and social change.

Sustainable Communities for a Healthy Planet offers a unique perspective on creating sustainable and healthy communities that can positively impact both human and planetary health. Drawing on first-hand accounts from researchers, health practitioners, and social innovators across diverse fields, the book argues that the most promising approaches to achieving long-term health often depart from the incentive structures, goals, and mindsets that define the status quo and do not necessarily align with mainstream sustainability discourses. Instead, the book presents a range of promising approaches that disrupt dominant ideas about mental health, ageing, and chronic illness, circumvent exploitative markets for medications, medical technologies, and professionalized care, and attend to the health of individual human bodies, internal ecologies, human populations, nonhuman species, and the planet as a whole. The stories assembled in this book illustrate how human beings might live healthy lives, supported by health systems that are not dependent on perpetual economic growth. Sustainable Communities for a Healthy Planet challenges conventional ways of thinking about the future of health systems and asks hard questions about what it takes to cultivate human and planetary health in a time of rapid ecological, economic, and social change.
