Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
During the coronavirus crisis, different aspects of human welfare are fundamentally implicated. We would like to invite scientists and public health professionals to submit papers to this Special Issue on "Public Health and Social Sustainability". Social sustainability is one of three aspects of sustainability; the others are environmental and economic sustainability. However, the scope of this issue is wider and may include topics on public health and evidence-based policies directing immediate public health action, including outbreaks, health equity, social capital and support, human rights, justice, governance, community resilience, and human adaptation. We seek submissions on the various aspects of the coronavirus outbreak to human, social, and societal wellbeing. Additionally, we would like to invite papers on infectious and noncommunicable diseases associated with social and cultural aspects of public health and epidemiology.
