#Gesundheit und #Nachhaltigkeit hängen eng zusammen. Und in beiden Bereichen stockt die Transformation aus ähnlichen Gründen: bestehende Machtverhältnisse, die Individualisierung von Verantwortung und die Polykrise, die langfristige, präventive Strategien in den Hintergrund drängt.
Welche Ansätze und Bündnisse es braucht, zeigt die aktuelle Ausgabe „Ökologisches Wirtschaften“ https://www.ioew.de/news/article/planetare-gesundheit-neue-ausgabe-oekologisches-wirtschaften #PlanetaryHealth #OneHealth #EcoHealth

Pharmaceutical pollution from wastewater is widespread in rivers and lakes — and it doesn’t stay there.
Studies show drug residues accumulate in aquatic insects, then move into terrestrial food webs when birds and bats eat them.
Researchers have found changes in insect physiology and behavior, with possible ripple effects for ecosystems.
The full consequences remain largely unknown.

@peterdutoit thank you for sharing, Peter. It's interesting and I wonder, how this will impact global temperatures and the earth's energy-system(s).
I stumbled about the x-achis though and didn't promptly recognised it's meaning, so I add the abbreviations for all: these are the three-month climate periods (climate seasons), starting with DJF = december to february and so forth.

Not smoking may cause long healthy lives for yourself and your loved ones.
Bikes, Trains and walking cause health, fresh air and intact nature.
Avoiding AI causes human intelligence and skills, energy transition and planetary health.
Vaccines and masks cause your loved ones not to develop horrible deseases that might otherwise make them choose assisted suicide.
Degrowth, sharing and sufficiency cause the good life for everybody.
Diversity and inclusion cause happiness and resilience.
Empathy and solidarity solve all problems.
Doing as good as you can in regards to the points above makes a huge difference. :flan_heart:
Thank you and please don't judge yourself.#empathy #solidarity #diversity #inclusion #ClimateJustice #PlanetaryHealth #OneHealth #EnergyTransition #MobilityTransition #degrowth #sufficiency

The #PhilosophicalTransactionsRoyalSocietyB has a special issue on "Transforming terrestrial #Food systems for #human and planetary #health which can be accessed here:
https://royalsocietypublishing.org/toc/rstb/2025/380/1935How to transform the failing global food system to provide a resilient, #sustainable food future is one of the most urgent problems facing the world. There are increasing calls for a need to transform the system as some of the greatest challenges facing humankind (#ClimateChange, #BiodiversityLoss, #obesity) are linked with how we produce and consume food. Global changes in food demand and dietary habits are placing an unsustainable burden on healthcare systems and environmental #sustainability.
It is within this context that United Kingdom Research and Innovation (#UKRI) invested £47.5 million into a programme ‘Transforming the UK Food System for Healthy People and a Healthy Environment’ (#TUKFS). The objective of the programme is to fundamentally transform the UK food system by placing healthy people and a healthy natural environment at its centre. In this theme issue, leading researchers involved with this programme describe some of the major outputs: new data, evidence and conclusions covering key components and stakeholders of the food system. The papers here provide a case study from the UK which can be compared to and inform policies around the world.

Lives disrupted and stunted by ongoing climate disasters
"Unicef-commissioned report shows being unable to finish high school – and the associated wage loss – is the most significant impact of increasingly frequent disasters on young people. Experts and advocates fear the lifelong consequences facing young people are being overlooked in disaster responses as what were previously known as “one-in-a-hundred years” disasters increase in frequency and severity."
"Unicef Australia is calling for the government to create a policy framework to support young people during and after natural disasters. “[We need] a better plan around the things that children need, around education and having enough supports to help them with their mental health if they’re traumatised by an event."

Paper by me (+ Cooper & Rott) on Tick hazard in the South Downs National Park (UK) + how to control without reducing ecosystem health. Free-to-read in @PeerJ at: https://peerj.com/articles/17483
Funders: @britishdeersoc , @BritishEcolSoc
ABSTRACT:
Background. #SouthDowns National Park (SDNP) is UK’s most visited #NationalPark, and a focus of tick-borne #Lymedisease. UK's first presumed locally acquired cases of #TBE and #babesiosis were recorded in 2019–20. The #SouthDownsNationalPark aims to conserve wildlife and encourage recreation, so interventions are needed that reduce hazard without negatively affecting ecosystem health. To be successful these require knowledge of site hazards.Methods. British Deer Society members submitted ticks removed from deer. Key potential intervention sites were selected and six 50 m2 transects drag-sampled per site (mostly twice yearly for 2 years). #Ticks were identified in-lab (sex, life stage, species), hazard measured as tick presence, density of ticks (all life stages, DOT), and density of nymphs (DON). Sites and habitat types were analysed for association with hazard. Distribution was mapped by combining our results with records from five other sources.
Results. A total of 87 Ixodes ricinus (all but one adults, 82% F) were removed from 14 deer (10 Dama dama; three Capreolus capreolus; one not recorded; tick burden, 1–35) at 12 locations (commonly woodland). Five key potential intervention sites were identified and drag-sampled 2015–16, collecting 623 ticks (238 on-transects): 53.8% nymphs, 42.5% larvae, 3.7% adults (13 M, 10 F). Ticks were present on-transects at all sites: I. ricinus at three (The Mens (TM); Queen Elizabeth Country Park (QECP); Cowdray Estate (CE)), Haemaphysalis punctata at two (Seven Sisters Country Park (SSCP); Ditchling Beacon Nature Reserve (DBNR)). TM had the highest DOT at 30/300 m2 (DON = 30/300 m2), followed by QECP 22/300 m2 (12/300 m2), CE 8/300 m2 (6/300 m2), and SSCP 1/300 m2 (1/300 m2). For I. ricinus, nymphs predominated in spring, larvae in the second half of summer and early autumn. The overall ranking of site hazard held for DON and DOT from both seasonal sampling periods. DBNR was sampled 2016 only (one adult H. punctata collected). Woodland had significantly greater hazard than downland, but ticks were present at all downland sites. I. ricinus has been identified in 33/37 of SDNPs 10 km2 grid squares, Ixodes hexagonus 10/37, H. punctata 7/37, Dermacentor reticulatus 1/37.
Conclusions. Mapping shows tick hazard broadly distributed across SDNP. I. ricinus was most common, but H. punctata’s seeming range expansion is concerning. Recommendations: management of small heavily visited high hazard plots (QECP); post-visit precaution signage (all sites); repellent impregnated clothing for deerstalkers; flock trials to control H. punctata (SSCP, DBNR). Further research at TM may contribute to knowledge on ecological dynamics underlying infection density and predator re-introduction/protection as public health interventions. #EcologicalResearch on H. punctata would aid control. SDNP Authority is ideally placed to link and champion policies to reduce hazard, whilst avoiding or reducing conflict between public health and ecosystem health.

Recommendations: management of small heavily visited high hazard plots (QECP); post-visit precaution signage (all sites); repellent impregnated clothing for deerstalkers; flock trials to control H. punctata (SSCP, DBNR). Further research at TM may contribute to knowledge on ecological dynamics underlying infection density and predator re-introduction/protection as public health interventions. #EcologicalResearch on H. punctata would aid control. SDNP Authority is ideally placed to link and champion policies to reduce hazard, whilst avoiding or reducing conflict between public health and ecosystem health.
