Ecosystem Services and Health
All living things depend on their environment for energy and for the basic requirements that sustain life - air, water, food and habitat. This simple dynamic is not in dispute. However there is a growing body of evidence that suggests the relationship between environment and human health is in fact a reciprocal one, each having complex effects on the other. According to the UN Environment Programme, every human being has the right to a safe, healthy and ecologically-balanced environment...but what exactly are these complex relationships, and how can we ensure that human rights to a safe and healthy environment are delivered, even under conditions of rapid global environmental change?
Ecosystem Services and Health: the connections and challenges of this reciprocal relationship
Monday 26 January 2015, 6pm - 8pm
ECCI, Old High School Yards, Infirmary Street, Edinburgh
