Welcome to the PHM thematic circle on Environment and Ecosystem Health! RESOURCES AND ARTICLES
PHM has worked on environment and ecosystem health for a number of years. Activism on extractivism has the most momentum, and is especially strong in the Latin and North American regions, though activists in other regions are also involved in extractivism issues and the thematic area generally. PHM has recognized and is increasingly addressing the climate crisis, and expects that work to strengthen in the immediate and foreseeable future.
The vision of the thematic area is recovery of the natural environment and ecosystem and its contribution to health.
The short-term goals relate to inclusion of more activists in the space and a more unified voice on the issues within PHM. Short-term goals for Environment and Ecosystem Health-
•Increased grassroots voice and activism within PHM to include more voices that expand vision beyond a European / WHO focus.
•Greater voice and activism among the younger generations, women, and indigenous peoples within PHM.
•Increased cohesion and ability to relate in a collective way within the thematic circle and among countries.
In this video, our coordinators explain the thematic group’s approach to the issue of Environment and Health.
If you wish to volunteer for this thematic group, contribute in anyway or have any questions, please contact one of our coordinators.
