	Planetary Health. Ein umfassendes Gesundheitskonzept Müller, Olaf; Jahn, Albrecht; Gabrysch, Sabine (2018) C2 Open external link (475) Add to my MEDBOX Dtsch Arztebl 2018; 115(40): A-1751 / B-1473 / C-1459 Tags: planetary health, konzept, Source: https://www.aerzteblatt.de/archiv/201358
	COP24 special report: health and climate change World Health Organization WHO WHO (2018) C_WHO View PDF(354) Download (209) Add to my MEDBOX Exposure to air pollution causes 7 million deaths worldwide every year and costs an estimated US$ 5.11 trillion in welfare losses globally. In the 15 countries that emit the most greenhouse gas emissions, the health impacts of air pollution are estimated to cost more than 4% of their GDP. Actions to meet the Paris goals would cost around 1% of global GDP. The report provides recommendations for governments on how to maximize the health benefits of tackling climate change and avoid the worst health impacts of this global challenge. It describes how countries around the world are now taking action to protect lives from the impacts of climate change – but that the scale of support remains woefully inadequate, particularly for the small island developing states, and least developed countries. Only approximately 0.5% of multilateral climate funds dispersed for climate change adaptation have been allocated to health project Tags: Climate Change, health, health consequences, Source: https://apps.who.int/iris/handle/10665/2

	Pollution and health: a progress update Fuller, R.; et al. (2022) CC Open external link (64) Add to my MEDBOX The Lancet Planetary Health Published:May 17, 2022DOI:https://doi.org/10.1016/S2542-5196(22)00090-0 Every year pollution causes 9 million deaths—1 in every 6 deaths worldwide, according to a Lancet Commission on pollution and health. While the number of deaths caused by household air pollution and water pollution decreased from 2015 to 2019, overall deaths remain roughly the same because of a 7% increase in deaths caused by air pollution and toxic chemical pollution Tags: pollution, clean air, health, biodiversity, CO2, Climate Change, Source: https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lanpl
	The public health implications of the Paris Agreement: a modelling study Hamilton I., Kennard H., McGushin A. et al. (2021) C2 Open external link (46) Add to my MEDBOX The Lancet Planetary Health, Vol.5 Issue 2, Feb. 1,2021. Nationally determined contributions (NDCs) serve to meet the goals of the Paris Agreement of staying “well below 2°C”, which could also yield substantial health co-benefits in the process. However, existing NDC commitments are inadequate to achieve this goal. Placing health as a key focus of the NDCs could present an opportunity to increase ambition and realise health co-benefits. We modelled scenarios to analyse the health co-benefits of NDCs for the year 2040 for nine representative countries (ie, Brazil, China, Germany, India, Indonesia, Nigeria, South Africa, the UK, and the USA) that were selected for their contribution to global greenhouse gas emissions and their global or regional influence Tags: Public health, planetary health, health consequences, Paris agreement, Source: https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lanpl
	As funções essenciais de saúde pública nas Américas - uma renovação para o século 21. Marco conceitual e descrição Pan American Health Organisation PAHO (2021) C_WHO View PDF(9) Download (10) Add to my MEDBOX Este documento apresenta um marco conceitual renovado das funções essenciais de saúde pública (FESP) para a Região das Américas, com o qual se pretende dar maior clareza conceitual e operacionalidade ao novo campo de atuação da saúde pública e preencher uma lacuna nas propostas conceituais sobre o fortalecimento dos sistemas de saúde. O marco proposto apresenta um novo paradigma para a saúde pública, baseado em quatro pilares orientados para a ação: a necessidade de incorporar a abordagem dos direitos humanos às políticas públicas de saúde; a necessidade de a saúde pública ampliar seu enfoque para ter uma abordagem mais ampla dos determinantes sociais da saúde; o papel da saúde pública para garantir de forma integral e integrada o acesso a intervenções de base populacional e atenção individual de qualidade; e a necessidade de as autoridades de saúde atuarem em colaboração com outros setores e com a sociedade civil no desempenho das funções de saúde pública Tags: health system, essential care, Strategic plan, Americas, universal acces, UHC, sustainable development goals, health care financing, Source: https://iris.paho.org/bitstream/handle/1

	Biodiversity and Health in the Face of Climate Change: Challenges, Opportunities and Evidence Gaps Marselle, M.R.; J. Stadler; H. Korn; et al. Springer International Publishing (2019) CC Open external link (47) Add to my MEDBOX Climate change presents significant challenges to human health and biodiversity. Increased numbers of extreme climate events, such as heat waves, droughts or flooding, threaten human health and well-being, both directly and indirectly, through impaired ecosystem functioning and reduced ecosystem services. In addition, the prevalence of non-communicable diseases is rising, causing ill health and accelerating costs to the health sector. Nature-based solutions, such as the provision and management of biodiversity, can facilitate human health and well-being, and mitigate the negative effects of climate change Tags: Climate Change, biodiversity, health, health consequences, Source: https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10
	Preventing disease through healthy environments: a global assessment of the burden of disease from environmental risks Prüss-Ustün, A.; J. Wolf, C. Corvalán, et al. World Health Organization WHO (2018) C_WHO View PDF(4) Download (3) Add to my MEDBOX The main message emerging from this new comprehensive global assessment is that premature death and disease can be prevented through healthier environments – and to a significant degree. Analysing the latest data on the environment-disease nexus and the devastating impact of environmental hazards and risks on global health, backed up by expert opinion, this report covers more than 100 diseases and injuries Tags: Global health and environment, Assessment, planetary health, WHO, environmental health, global mental health, hazards, Source: https://www.who.int/publications/i/item/
