  • Nature contact and health risk Behaviours

    Open AccessLeanne Martins, Leanne Martin et al.ARTICLEHealth & Place2025Referências: 1

    Emerging evidence suggests that residential greenspace is associated with a lower prevalence of health risk behaviours, but it remains unclear whether these effects are generalizable across countries or different types of nature contact. Using representative cross-sectional samples from 18 countries/regions, we examined the associations between two types of nature contact (greenspace, nature visits), current smoking and everyday drinking. After c…

  • More-Than-Human Histories of Latin America and the Caribbean

    Open AccessAndré Vasques Vita, Diogo De Carvalho Cabral et al.BOOKMore-Than-Human Histories of…2024

    The Latin American and Caribbean regions’ historical trajectories have been shaped by complex human-nonhuman interactions. In these histories people are important, even crucial, actors, but not the only ones. Offering a novel approach to the writing of Latin American history, this book responds to environmental history’s call to write biophysical environments into the human past – a reconsideration of historical agency that, in this era of climat…

  • Responding to the need of postgraduate education for Planetary Health

    Open AccessCristina O’Callaghan‐Gordo, Cristina O'Callaghan-Gordo et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Public Health2022

    Planetary Health has emerged as a new approach to respond to the existential risks that the clime and global environmental crises pose to human societies. As stated by various stakeholders, the challenges involved in Planetary Health are of such magnitude that education must be at the forefront to obtain a meaningful response. Universities and higher education institutions have been specifically called to embed the concept of planetary stewardshi…

  • The climate change mitigation effects of daily active travel in cities

    Open AccessChristian Brand, Evi Dons et al.ARTICLETransportation Research Part D:…2021

    Active travel (walking or cycling for transport) is considered the most sustainable form of personal transport. Yet its net effects on mobility-related CO2 emissions are complex and under-researched. Here we collected travel activity data in seven European cities and derived life cycle CO2 emissions across modes and purposes. Daily mobility-related life cycle CO2 emissions were 3.2 kgCO2 per person, with car travel contributing 70% and cycling 1%…

  • Associations between green/blue spaces and mental health across 18 countries

    Open AccessMathew P White, Lewis R Elliott et al.ARTICLEScientific Reports2021

    Living near, recreating in, and feeling psychologically connected to, the natural world are all associated with better mental health, but many exposure-related questions remain. Using data from an 18-country survey ( n = 16,307) we explored associations between multiple measures of mental health (positive well-being, mental distress, depression/anxiety medication use) and: (a) exposures (residential/recreational visits) to different natural setti…

  • A Transdisciplinary Approach to Recovering Natural and Cultural Landscape and Place Identification

    Open AccessMarina Cervera Alonso de Medina, Simon Bell et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of…2021

    The perception of the quality of green and blue spaces can be key in the relationship between a community and its local landscape (i.e., place identification). The lack of transdisciplinary training and social-specific education of landscape architects regarding the complexity of landscape as a participative cultural artefact limits reaching the general population. Bridging this gap of landscape and place identification and evaluation by a local …

  • Blue space, health and well-being

    Open AccessMathew P White, Lewis R Elliott et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research2020

    Research into the potential health and well-being benefits from exposure to green spaces such as parks and woodlands has led to the development of several frameworks linking the different strands of evidence. The current paper builds on these to provide a model of how exposure to aquatic environments, or blue spaces such as rivers, lakes and the coast, in particular, may benefit health and well-being. Although green and blue spaces share many com…

  • Research Note

    Open AccessLewis R Elliott, Mathew P White et al.ARTICLELandscape and Urban Planning2020

    Varied categorisations of residential distance to bluespace in population health studies make comparisons difficult. Using survey data from eighteen countries, we modelled relationships between residential distance to blue spaces (coasts, lakes, and rivers), and self-reported recreational visits to these environments at least weekly, with penalised regression splines. We observed exponential declines in visit probability with increasing distance …

  • The Beneficial Effects of Short-Term Exposure to Scuba Diving on Human Mental Health

    Open AccessArnau Carreño, Margarita Gascón et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of…2020

    Exposure to outdoor blue spaces can help improve human health by reducing stress, promoting social relationships, and physical activity. While most studies have focused on the adverse health effects of scuba diving, very few have assessed its health benefits. Moreover, when scuba diving is done in large groups with no diving instructor or pre-dive briefing, negative environmental impacts are generated and negative impacts on human health may also…

    Open AccessOriana Ramírez‐rubio, Carolyn Daher et al.ARTICLEGlobalization and Health2019

    BACKGROUND: Cities are an important driving force to implement the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the New Urban Agenda. The SDGs provide an operational framework to consider urbanization globally, while providing local mechanisms for action and careful attention to closing the gaps in the distribution of health gains. While health and well-being are explicitly addressed in SDG 3, health is also present as a pre condition of SDG 11, that…

  • Fifty Shades of Green

    Mark Nieuwenhuijsen, Mark J Nieuwenhuijsen et al.ARTICLEEpidemiology2017

    Currently half the world population lives in cities, and this proportion is expected to increase rapidly to 70% over the next years. Over the years, we have created large, mostly grey cities with many high-rise buildings and little green space. Disease rates tend to be higher in urban areas than in rural areas. More green space in cities could reduce these rates. Here, we describe the importance of green space for health, and make recommendations…

  • BlueHealth

    Open AccessJames Grellier, Mathew P White et al.ARTICLEBMJ Open2017

    INTRODUCTION: Proximity and access to water have long been central to human culture and accordingly deliver countless societal benefits. Over 200 million people live on Europe's coastline, and aquatic environments are the top recreational destination in the region. In terms of public health, interactions with 'blue space' (eg, coasts, rivers, lakes) are often considered solely in terms of risk (eg, drowning, microbial pollution). Exposure to blue…
