ECOHEALTH 2014 – Connections for Health, Ecosystems and Society
Ecohealth is a field that strives for "sustainable health of people, wildlife and ecosystems by promoting discovery, understanding and transdisciplinarity" (IAEH). The growth in interest and scholarly engagement with ecohealth is demonstrated by the strong communities of practice, groups and networks that have developed, by institutional uptake by large organizations such as the Pan-American Health Organization and through the continued development of the EcoHealth journal and International Association of Ecology & Health (IAEH).
Three main themes have been put forward for EcoHealth 2014 Conference:
- Drivers of change to health, ecosystems and society: Integrating understanding from global to local scales
- Innovations in theory, methods and practice
- Moving between research and action: Mobilizing knowledge to benefit health, ecosystems, and society
