The health of people around the world is tightly linked to the health of the places we inhabit.<\/span><\/h1>\n

Improved population health and more resilient health systems are attainable in the face of global environmental changes by an integrated understanding of how interactions among human and natural systems determine our health and wellbeing.<\/p>\n

The Future Earth Health Knowledge-Action Network brings health researchers and policymakers together with natural and social scientists, and environmental policy experts and leaders in government, the private sector, and civil society. Through this research network, we can find a better, integrated understanding of the complex interactions between a changing global environment (such as pollution, disease pathogens and vectors, and ecosystem services) and the health of human beings (including livelihoods, nutrition, and well-being), a field called planetary health. We encourage long-term integrated observation systems to collect rigorous health, socioeconomic, and environmental data.<\/p>\n

The Future Earth Health Knowledge-Action Network held its official launch event in Taipei City on 20-23 May 2019. The transition from the development phase to the full operational phase was celebrated in a ceremony in which the co-chairs described the activities that the KAN has been engaged with. As a first activity, representatives from various sectors and organizations shaped a research agenda for the KAN.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/3″ el_class=”paddingFix”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
