Inhaltsangabe:

Nature-based Solutions for Healthcare: Addressing Anthropocene Climate Change delivers a bold vision for tackling the dual crises of man-made climate change and global health through nature-based solutions (NbS)-strategies that harness natural processes and ecosystems to address societal challenges. By integrating NbS into healthcare systems, this book explores their ability to mitigate climate impacts, restore ecosystems, and improve human health outcomes. Drawing insights from environmental science, public health, healthcare policy, and clinical medicine, it highlights transformational examples-from hospital gardens promoting recovery to urban green infrastructure alleviating heat stress. Global case studies showcase the power of NbS in reimagining healthcare delivery systems, while emphasizing the vital role of policymakers, healthcare professionals, and environmental advocates in driving this change. Urgent and inspiring, Nature-based Solutions for Healthcare bridges theory and practice with actionable strategies to build a resilient and sustainable global healthcare delivery model. This is a rallying cry for global stakeholders to champion NbS as a pathway to planetary and human well-being-a critical step toward ensuring a healthier future for all.
