| 摘要: | In 2015, the Rockefeller Foundation-Lancet Commission Report on Planetary Health introduced “planetary health” as a critical framework for understanding the profound and multifaceted impacts of global environmental change—including climate disruption, ecological degradation, food insecurity, and the increasing spread of infectious diseases. These developments have sharpened awareness of the imminent risks facing human health, the fragility of the Earth’s life-support systems, and our shared responsibility to safeguard well-being in the Anthropocene. The report defines planetary health as “the achievement of the highest attainable standard of health, well-being, and equity worldwide through judicious attention to the human systems—political, economic, and social—that shape the future of humanity, and to the Earth’s natural systems that define the safe environmental limits within which humanity can flourish” (Whitmee et al. 1978). This definition articulates with compelling clarity the intrinsic interdependence between human health and the health of the planet. Works such as Samuel Myers and Howard Frumkin’s Planetary Health: Protecting Nature to Protect Ourselves, Richard Horton and Selina Lo’s “Planetary Health: A New Science for Exceptional Action,” and Pierre Horwitz and Margot W. Parkes’s “Intertwined Strands for Ecology in Planetary Health” further establish interdisciplinary frameworks that integrate ecological, political, and medical concerns. Their shared premise is unmistakable: the well-being of humanity is inseparable from the well-being of the Earth. In parallel, the World Health Organization’s “One Health” initiative (2017)—inspired by the work of Rudolf Virchow, Robert Koch, Louis Pasteur, Aldo Leopold, Rachel Carson, among others—advances a holistic vision that situates human health within a web of microbial, environmental, socio-political, and ecological relations (Zinsstag et al. xvii). More recent works, including Heike Härting and Heather Meek’s edited volume Planetary Health Humanities and Pandemics and Andy Haines and Howard Frumkin’s Planetary Health: Safeguarding Human Health and the Environment in the Anthropocene, continue to expand this discourse, illuminating new intersections between environmental studies, medical humanities, and health humanities. |
