TLDR
A guide to seven field developments in environmental public health research and practice: occupational and environmental health; political ecology of health; environmental justice; ecohealth; One Health; ecological public health; and planetary health.Abstract:
The impacts of global environmental change have precipitated numerous approaches that connect the health of ecosystems, non-human organisms and humans. However, the proliferation of approaches can lead to confusion due to overlaps in terminology, ideas and foci. Recognising the need for clarity, this paper provides a guide to seven field developments in environmental public health research and practice: occupational and environmental health; political ecology of health; environmental justice; ecohealth; One Health; ecological public health; and planetary health. Field developments are defined in terms of their uniqueness from one another, are historically situated, and core texts or journals are highlighted. The paper ends by discussing some of the intersecting features across field developments, and considers opportunities created through such convergence. This field guide will be useful for those seeking to build a next generation of integrative research, policy, education and action that is equipped to respond to current health and sustainability challenges.read more

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a conceptual framework organizing the pathways linking biodiversity to human health, including reducing harm (e.g., reducing exposure to air and noise pollution), restoring capacities, promoting physical activity, transcendent experiences, and causing harm.

Environmental Health: From Global to Local
TL;DR: The book’s 36 chapters contain highly pertinent insights and information on environmental issues that go beyond the usual boundaries of classic environmental health, but the index is very poorly done.

Mapping research on resource extraction and health: A scoping review
Ben Brisbois,Jamie Reschny,Trina Fyfe,Henry G. Harder,Margot W. Parkes,Sandra Allison,Chris G. Buse,Raina Fumerton,Barbara Oke +8 more
TL;DR: The authors conducted a scoping review of mining or oil and gas extraction and health, identifying patterns and gaps in existing scholarship to identify the need for methodological pluralism, intervention-focused studies and attention to complex social-ecological system dynamics and neglected populations, especially in the global South.
Journal ArticleDOI
EcoHealth and One Health: A theory-focused review in response to calls for convergence.
TL;DR: A more in-depth understanding of the ontological, epistemological and methodological underpinnings of EcoHealth and One Health is gained in order to identify areas of difference and overlap, and consider the extent to which closer convergence between the two may be possible.
Journal ArticleDOI
"You feel like you're part of something bigger": exploring motivations for community garden participation in Melbourne, Australia.
TL;DR: The findings of this study suggest that motivations for participation are diverse and span a range of ancestral, social, environmental, and political domains and can be facilitated given barriers and enablers to community gardening.

TL;DR: An updated and extended analysis of the planetary boundary (PB) framework and identifies levels of anthropogenic perturbations below which the risk of destabilization of the Earth system (ES) is likely to remain low—a “safe operating space” for global societal development.

TL;DR: 13 models of the ocean–carbon cycle are used to assess calcium carbonate saturation under the IS92a ‘business-as-usual’ scenario for future emissions of anthropogenic carbon dioxide and indicate that conditions detrimental to high-latitude ecosystems could develop within decades, not centuries as suggested previously.

The Anthropocene: are humans now overwhelming the great forces of Nature?
TL;DR: This work uses atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration as a single, simple indicator to track the progression of the Anthropocene, the current epoch in which humans and the authors' societies have become a global geophysical force.
