Descripción del proyecto
En pos de soluciones holísticas para la salud medioambiental
La rápida degradación del medio ambiente constituye una amenaza polifacética para la salud humana, animal y ecosistémica a nivel mundial. Desde la creciente contaminación atmosférica hasta la contaminación del suelo y el agua, estos problemas agravan los riesgos para la salud y sobrecargan los recursos. El bienestar mental también se ve afectado por los factores de estrés ambiental, cada vez mayores, lo que aumenta la urgencia de encontrar soluciones holísticas. En este contexto, el proyecto PLANET4Health, financiado con fondos europeos, tiene por objeto capitalizar conocimientos multidisciplinares para abordar estos problemas urgentes. El equipo de PLANET4Health buscará soluciones integrales a través de estudios de casos adaptados, que abarcan las enfermedades transmitidas por vectores, la contaminación atmosférica, la contaminación alimentaria y el bienestar mental. En el consorcio se hará hincapié en la colaboración multidisciplinar y, a través de su amplia red, se llevarán a cabo investigaciones, se desarrollarán innovaciones y se elaborarán soluciones políticas. Sus objetivos incluyen la recopilación de datos, el desarrollo de prototipos digitales y la participación ciudadana para tomar decisiones políticas fundamentadas.
Objetivo
PLANET4Health provides new knowledge and tools on environment degradation and its impact on human animal and ecosystems health. The project results will support policy making process and citizens awareness on sustainable planetary health, climate and environmental policies and adaptation and mitigation strategies to natural hazards. PLANET4health will develop collaborations from a large variety of organizations from the: environmental and climate science, public health, epidemiology, veterinary medicine, social, political and economic science, engineering, law and ethics, and communication, to produce solid knowledge and tools to facilitate learning and practice on the interaction between the natural system and human health. Four tailor-made case studies will be performed: 1) One Health effects of vector-borne diseases, 2) air pollution, 3) food contamination arising from soil and water contamination, 4) mental wellbeing linked to environmental and climate stressors, in different geographical area thanks to the large project network, that will draw universal conclusions and replicable solutions to improve the predictive capability and preparedness. The consortium will produce research, technological innovation, tailored outreach and training, and policy solutions through a cross-sectorial multidisciplinary scientific collaboration in line with the transnational character of planetary health. For these aims the project will: a) collect, organize and assure open availability of new and already existing data on climate and environmental indicators linked to One Health; b) carry out analyses on data and build innovative, inter-operable and multifunctional digital prototypes; c) produce new knowledge and tools to support One Health policies by applying social science theories and involving citizens, policymakers and stakeholders; d) offer open-access data, tools and research material to public authorities for decision making and academic research for further study.
