La naturaleza es buena medicina

¿Por qué asistir a esta sesión?
This session explores nature-based solutions, creating positive outcomes for the health and well-being of both people and the environment, particularly focusing on opportunities for social and environmental recovery post-pandemic. Participants will have an opportunity to help shape a 'roadmap' for scaling up the health and nature agenda.
HideDescripción
COVID-19 has had a dramatic impact on the world; on people’s lives and health. It has also intensified the intrinsic link between human health and nature and the need for us to urgently rethink how parks can be part of the nature-based recovery effort. While much has been documented about the detrimental impacts to human health of degraded natural systems, the benefits of healthy nature and green spaces for human health and well-being is rapidly becoming more recognised. The pandemic has resulted in more demands than ever for access to green spaces and nature connection opportunities. Looking to the future, knowing what we know now, what can we do differently for nature for health and well-being as part of the recovery of the planet and its population? Be part of a discussion with leading change-makers who are championing new policies, partnerships and programs across health and environment sectors to ensure all people access the benefits of nature.
