	Air quality and health in cities IHME Institut for Health Metrics and Evaluation (2022) C1 View PDF(39) Download (14) Add to my MEDBOX This report provides an overview of air pollution levels and associated health impacts in cities around the world. Since urban areas are often hotspots for poor air quality, city-level data can help to inform targeted efforts to curb urban air pollution and improve public health. This report draws on data from the Global Burden of Disease project and from peer-reviewed analyses led by Susan Anenberg of the George Washington University Tags: air pollution, cities, urban health, burden of disease, health impact, Source: https://www.healthdata.org/sites/default
	One Health in action against Neglected Tropical Diseases Open WHO; World Health Organization WHO (2022) C_WHO Open external link (168) Add to my MEDBOX Neglected Tropical Diseases (NTDs) continue to cause hardship and harm to over one billion people worldwide, burdening individuals, families and communities who are already marginalized and disadvantaged. Taking a One Health approach that recognizes the relationship between human, animal, and environmental health is key to sustainably addressing NTDs. This course provides practical ideas, tools, and examples to enable each of us to take One Health action towards the global goal of substantially reducing the burden of NTDs by 2030 Tags: NTD, zoonosis, OneHealth, Source: https://openwho.org/courses/NTDs-one-hea
	Extreme heat: Preparing for the heatwaves of the future The International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies IFRC; OCHA; Red Cross Red Crescent Climate Centre (2022) C1 View PDF(40) Download (17) Add to my MEDBOX Climate change is already having severe impacts across our planet, bringing new and previously unimaginable challenges to the people least responsible for greenhouse gas emissions. This report, the first we’ve released jointly in the history of our organizations, provides a sobering review of how just one of those challenges – the increase in deadly heat-waves – threatens to drive new emergency needs in the not-so-distant future Tags: Climate Change, Impact, planetary health, Food Security, heat wave, drought, Mitigation, Report, Source: https://reliefweb.int/attachments/1b9e28

	Medical Clinics for Planetary Health Planetary Health Alliance (2022) CC Open external link (137) Add to my MEDBOX Case Study. The surprising link between logging and healthcare in Indonesia. You can download the teaching material and the case study after filling in a free registration form. his case study examines a connection between rainforest conservation and affordable healthcare access in communities surrounding Gunung Palung National Park (GPNP) in West Kalimantan, Indonesia. It recognizes that human and environmental wellbeing cannot be seen as separate from one another. Specifically, it explores how deforestation impacts human health and well-being, and how implementing co-beneficial solutions can improve human health while protecting natural ecosystems. Finally, this case study highlights the importance of collaboration to achieve planetary health, both within communities and within organizational teams Tags: ecosystem approach, Case Study, OneHealth, health care system, environmental health, Source: https://www.planetaryhealthalliance.org/
	Planetary Health Case Studies: An Anthology of Solutions Planetary Health Alliance (2022) CC Open external link (115) Add to my MEDBOX the Planetary Health Alliance issued a call for planetary health case studies to strengthen and expand the field of planetary health by shining a light on cross-sectoral solutions that optimize human health in the face of anthropogenic environmental change. After receiving submissions and proposals from organizations and institutions worldwide, ten diverse case studies were chosen to create a cohesive anthology of examples ranging in thematic area, problem-solving approach, ecosystem characteristics, and geographic region. Our freelance Case Study Writer, Hilary Duff, traveled the world in 2018-2019 conducting interviews with stakeholders and organization leads to build this anthology of planetary health stories. These cases invite students to reflect on the pressing realities of people living in vulnerability, the complex connections between people and planet, and how the anthropogenic acts of one generation can reverberate through the next Tags: case studies, biodiversity, Zoonotic diseases, health care system, ecosystem approach, Source: https://www.planetaryhealthalliance.org/
	Changing food systems and infectious disease risks in low-income and middle-income countries Waage, J.; D. Grace; E.M. Févre; et al. The Lancet Planetary Health (2022) CC Open external link (200) Add to my MEDBOX Lancet Planet Health 2022;6: e760–68 The emergence of COVID-19 has drawn the attention of health researchers sharply back to the role that food systems can play in generating human disease burden. But emerging pandemic threats are just one dimension of the complex relationship between agriculture and infectious disease, which is evolving rapidly, particularly in low-income and middle-income countries (LMICs) that are undergoing rapid food system transformation. This changing relationship is examined through four current disease issues Tags: COVID-19, pandemic, food, food security, zoonosis, Antimicrobial resistance, water safety, sustainable food systems, Agriculture, public health, malaria, low and middle income countries, Source: https://www.thelancet.com/action/showPdf
