Event Description

Join workshop planning committee members to learn about workshop key messages and hear perspectives on how to move forward from identifying research to advancing policy and practice.

In September 2022, the National Academies held a workshop focused on the integration of public and ecosystem health to foster resilience. Connections between people and their environments are under stress from human-driven climate change, pollution, resource exploitation, and other actions that may have implications for public health. Existing intellectual frameworks such as One Health, Planetary Health, ecosystem services, nature-based solutions, and others help to connect different elements related to the resilience of public health and ecological health systems. However, because of the breadth of this issue, many implications regarding public health are not well characterized leading to gaps in understanding the interconnections between public health and ecosystem health systems and how ecosystem resiliency may affect public health.

The workshop was designed to inform the development of a research agenda aimed at bridging the knowledge-to-action gap, to move from research to policy and practice. Participants included a broad range of interdisciplinary researchers and practitioners from the public health, natural resource management, and environmental protection communities. The workshop provided a forum for the exchange of knowledge, discussion of critical gaps in understanding and practice, and identification of promising research that could support the development of domestic and international policy and practice.

This webinar will be held via Zoom on Tuesday, May 9, from 2-3 PM ET. Please join using the link shared above.
