HEALTH / Chapter 1. The Issue Jean Lebel IDRC 2003
Can people remain healthy in a world that is sick? Many ecological disasters can be directly traced to careless exploitation of the environment, with human beings becoming both perpetrator and victim. Our health closely mirrors the health of our surroundings. This is the basis of the Ecohealth approach, which recognizes the inextricable links between humans and their biophysical, social, and economic environments, and that these links are reflected in an individual’s health.
From Stockholm to Johannesburg
Ecosystem health = human health
Beyond the biophysical
