Increasing burden of poor mental health attributable to high temperature in Australia
From complexity to integration
Transdisciplinary research has been increasingly advocated as necessary to address complex planetary health challenges spanning environmental and human health in different socio-economic contexts. Recognising global interdependence, such research must engage in equitable co-production for lasting, meaningful impact. Existing transdisciplinarity frameworks and practices from the environment, health, and development fields primarily focus on resear…

Respiratory risks from wildfire-specific PM2.5 across multiple countries and territories
Under a warming climate, wildfires are becoming more frequent and severe. Multicountry studies evaluating associations between wildfire fine particulate matter (PM 2.5 ) and respiratory hospitalizations are lacking. Here we evaluate the short-term effects of wildfire-specific PM 2.5 on respiratory hospitalizations from 1,052 communities across Australia, Brazil, Canada, Chile, New Zealand, Vietnam, Thailand and Taiwan, during 2000–2019. A 1 μg m …
Health risks of exposure to wildfire-toxic air
Emerging threats from climate change on our oceans demand proactive action
Heat exposure and cardiovascular health outcomes
Enabling transdisciplinary research collaboration for planetary health
In recent decades, transdisciplinary research has been increasingly recognised as necessary to produce solutions for sustainable development; however, implementation challenges remain. The emerging field of planetary health offers a unique lens to guide a new synthesis of perspectives, recognising interlinkages between environmental and human health, and interdependence across global development contexts, that is, at the environment‐health‐develo…

Reducing the health effects of hot weather and heat extremes
The environmental footprint of health care
BACKGROUND: Health-care services are necessary for sustaining and improving human wellbeing, yet they have an environmental footprint that contributes to environment-related threats to human health. Previous studies have quantified the carbon emissions resulting from health care at a global level. We aimed to provide a global assessment of the wide-ranging environmental impacts of this sector. METHODS: In this multiregional input-output analysis,…
Cool Communities—Urban Density, Trees, and Health
A move towards more compact and climate-resilient cities is being encouraged around the world. As part of these plans, there is a need to manage the potential conflict between increasing urban densities and the extent of tree canopy in cities. Reductions in tree canopy are a major contributor to the urban heat island (UHI) effect, which will act to reduce rather than increase climate resilience in many cities. A systems thinking approach called C…

Urban governance and the systems approaches to health-environment co-benefits in cities
The term "co-benefits" refers to positive outcomes accruing from a policy beyond the intended outcome, often or usually in other sectors. In the urban context, policies implemented in particular sectors (such as transport, energy or waste) often generate multiple co-benefits in other areas. Such benefits may be related to the reduction of local or global environmental impacts and also extend into the area of public health. A key to identifying an…
Human Occupations as Determinants of Population Health
Human occupations affect human health and well-being and, for the first time in history, human occupations are now affecting the health of planetary systems. As we enter the Anthropocene – a new epoch of geological time – it is timely to widen our field of vision to an occupational perspective on links between the health of people, places and planet, thereby enabling understanding of population health co-benefits from action on climate change and…
Evaluating the transport, health and economic impacts of new urban cycling infrastructure in Sydney, Australia – protocol paper
This research should contribute to the advancement in evaluation and appraisal methods for cycling projects
Human Health and Climate Change
The design of adaptation strategies that promote urban health and well-being in the face of climate change requires an understanding of the feedback interactions that take place between the dynamical state of a city, the health of its people, and the state of the planet. Complexity, contingency and uncertainty combine to impede the growth of such systemic understandings. In this paper we suggest that the collaborative development of conceptual mo…

Health and wellbeing in the changing urban environment
With rapid global urbanization, the importance of understanding relationships between the changing urban environment and human health and wellbeing is being increasingly recognized. However, the science underlying the complexity of linkages is poorly developed. In this paper, we explore the different types of health and wellbeing risks in the urban environment, their dynamic, ever evolving nature, and define both their spatial and socioeconomic d…
