TL;DR: In this paper, the authors identify three categories of challenges that have to be addressed to maintain and enhance human health in the face of increasingly harmful environmental trends: conceptual and empathy failures (imagination challenges), such as an overreliance on gross domestic product as a measure of human progress, the failure to account for future health and environmental harms over present day gains, and the disproportionate eff ect of those harms on the poor and those in developing nations.

TL;DR: In this paper, the impacts of vegetation biodiversity on air quality and air quality on vegetation biodiversity is studied, which is essential to sustaining healthy and diverse ecosystems and for improving air quality, and consequently human health and well-being.

TL;DR: In the last two decades, the Rio Conventions have brought global attention to the impacts of anthropogenic change on the ecosystems of the planet as mentioned in this paper. But these changes are having both direct and indirect impacts on our climate and ecosystems.

TL;DR: The links between climate change and its upstream drivers and health outcomes are reviewed, and existing opportunities to leverage more integrated global health and climate actions to prevent, prepare for, and respond to anthropogenic pressures are identified.

TL;DR: The breadth and complexity of these relationships, and the socio-economic drivers by which they are influenced, in the context of rapidly shifting global trends, reaffirm the need for an integrative, multidisciplinary and systemic approach to the health of people, livestock and wildlife within the ecosystem context.
