Ecosystems form the foundation upon which society can survive and thrive, providing food, clean water, clean air, materials, and recreation. These connections between people and their environments are being stressed by human-driven actions (e.g. climate change, pollution, resource exploitation, and others) that can alter ecosystems and the services they can provide. If ecosystems are not resilient in the face of these stressors, the subsequent ecological changes may affect human health. This workshop will bring together transdisciplinary researchers and practitioners addressing overlapping public and ecosystem health issues to identify opportunities and research needs to better integrate these areas in policy and practice. The workshop will include discussions about current frameworks and local to global efforts to integrate public and ecosystem health, key elements needed in a knowledge-to-action research agenda on this topic, and ways in which an actionable research agenda could be advanced. More detailed information about the project can be viewed on the project website<https://gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fnas.us8.l…>. We are seeking nominations for committee members with broad expertise in public health, conservation, sustainable development, climate change, ecosystem ecology, environmental science, veterinary health, social and behavioral sciences, and communication (e.g. community engagement, collaboration). Researchers and practitioners with experience working at local to international scales, and those familiar with existing frameworks (e.g., Planetary Health Alliance, One Planet, One Health, ecosystem services) are particularly sought. Submit a Nomination<https://gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fnas.us8.l…> The National Academies are committed to enhancing diversity and inclusion in order to strengthen the quality of our work. Diverse perspectives contribute to finding innovative approaches and solutions to challenging issues. We encourage the nomination of a diverse set of experts, including candidates from underrepresented races, ethnicities, and gender identities; people with disabilities; and a range of career stages. Self-nominations are welcome. This workshop is sponsored by the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation.
