Item detailsHome > Medical > General Practice & Primary Care SUSTAINABILITY AND HEALTH Supporting global ecological integrity in public health Radical changes in the biosphere and human interaction with the environment are increasingly impacting on the health of populations across the world. Diseases are crossing the species barrier, and spreading rapidly through globalised transport systems. From new patterns of cancer to the threat of global pandemics, it is imperative that public health practitioners acknowledge the interdependence between the sustainability of the environment and the sustainability of the human species. Why are issues of global and local sustainability of increasing importance to the public's health? Why do issues of sustainability require new practices within the professions of public health? How can future and current public health practitioners develop those new practices? Drawing on scientific evidence of global and local environmental changes, Sustainability and Health offers a thorough background and practical solutions to the overlapping issues in environment and health.
