Nature’s Impact on Human Health Action Guide

The Nature’s Impact on Human Health Guide is a resource primarily intended for practitioners and community leaders seeking to evaluate the human health impacts of their green interventions.

Phase:

Use this guide to measure the impacts of nature-based solutions, such as green interventions, on human health.

Thriving ecosystems are well-managed ecosystems. They provide essential benefits and services to people who have access to green spaces. Nature-based solutions, such as green interventions, can address public health related issues. However, knowledge on the effectiveness of green interventions in terms of human health, well-being and equity is not well understood. The Nature’s Impact on Human Health Guide can play a vital role in determining the effectiveness of green interventions in promoting human health.
