Abstract

In the 21st century, we are at a pivotal moment where people's health and well-being are intrinsically linked to the preservation of the environment and the sustainability of our planet. Increasingly, we understand that we cannot separate the care of our health from the health of the ecosystem in which we live. Thus, there is an urgent need to address the interrelationship between human health, climate change and biodiversity conservation. This holistic approach requires us to rethink our public health concepts and practices, recognising that the promotion of individual and collective well-being is closely linked to the protection and preservation of the natural environment around us. We need to adopt an integrative and multidimensional perspective on health, from individual to collective dimensions, from the biological to the environmental, and from the local to the global.
