Description

Sustainable Communities for a Healthy Planet presents an unconventional collection of ideas and practices that could enable long-term human and planetary health. Drawing from first-hand accounts by researchers, health practitioners, and social innovators across diverse fields, Katharine Zywert argues that the most promising approaches often depart from mainstream sustainability discourses. These alternative ways of living together with the environment challenge dominant ideas about mental health, ageing, and chronic illness, while also considering the health of internal ecologies, human populations, nonhuman species, and the planet as a whole. The book illustrates how individuals might live healthy lives supported by health systems that are not dependent on perpetual economic growth. By presenting these unconventional approaches, Sustainable Communities for a Healthy Planet challenges conventional ways of thinking about the future of health systems and asks hard questions about what it takes to cultivate human and planetary health in a time of rapid ecological, economic, and social change.
