10th EURIPA Rural Health Forum “Understanding our Patients - working closely together”.  Abstract Book 23 - 25th September 2021

The concept of planetary health blurs the artificial lines between health at scales of person, place, and planet. It emphasizes the interconnected grand challenges of our time, and underscores the need for integration of biological, psychological, social, and cultural aspects of health in the modern environment. Here, in our Viewpoint article, we revisit vaccine pioneer Jonas Salk’s contention that wisdom is central to the concept of planetary health. Our perspective is centered on the idea that practical wisdom is associated with decision-making that leads to flourishing—the vitality and fullest potential of individuals, communities, and life on the planet as a whole. The SARS-CoV-2 pandemic has illustrated the acute consequences of unwise and mindless leadership; yet, wisdom and mindfulness, or lack thereof, is no less consequential to grotesque biodiversity losses, climate change, environmental degradation, resource depletion, the global burden of non-communicable diseases (NCDs), health inequalities, and social injustices. Since mindfulness is a teachable asset linked to both wisdom and flourishing, we argue that mindfulness deserves much greater attention in the context of planetary health.

Resumen La administración es una ciencia social encargada de estudiar, dirigir y diseñar las acciones organizacionales dentro de empresas, instituciones y organismos públicos, privados y Estales; y el cambio climático es un problema con características únicas, ya que su naturaleza global e impactos involucran interacciones complejas; por lo tanto, lo primero que debemos hacer como administradores es tener conciencia de que tan grave es el problema, y asumir a plenitud la fragilidad que nos asecha, como individuos parte de la humanidad; de esta manera el compromiso como se advierte resulta insoslayable para la Administración. Palabras clave: Administración, rol, ética, responsabilidad social, cambio climático. Summary The administration is a social science entrusted to study, directing and designing the organizational actions inside companies, institutions and public, private organisms and State; and the climate change is a problem with the only characteristics, since his global nature and impacts involve complex interactions; therefore, the first thing that we must do as administrators is to have conscience of which so serious it is the problem, and to assume to fullness the fragility that us, as individuals it departs from the humanity; hereby the commitment as he becomes aware turns out to be unavoidable for the Administration.

Resumo Destaca a tendência à razão instrumental, com base em Theodor W. Adorno e Max Horkheimer, cuja crítica a essa racionalidade constitui marco importante para a compreensão dos obstáculos à emancipação e à liberdade humana. A metodologia tem suporte na acepção do materialismo histórico-dialético, de modo a evidenciar elementos atinentes às relações histórico-sociais. Dessa maneira, põe em ressalto peculiaridades relativas à manifestação desta racionalidade no âmbito do Estágio Supervisionado, componente curricular da Licenciatura em Teatro, no Instituto Federal de Educação, Ciência e Tecnologia do Ceará. Palavras-chave: Racionalidade. Adorno. Horkheimer. Formação. Estágio Supervised internship and tendency to instrumental reason Abstract The present paper highlights the tendency to instrumental reason as developed by Theodor W. Adorno and Max Horkheimer, whose criticism to this rationality constitutes an important milestone for understanding the obstacles to human emancipation and freedom. The methodology is based on the dialectical and historical materialism, in order to point elements related to historical-social relations. In this way, it emphasizes peculiarities related to the manifestation of this rationality within the scope of Supervised Internship as one of the curricular components of the Teaching License in Theater at the Federal Institute of Education, Science and Technology of Ceará.

The Right

This chapter addresses the dynamic balance between human health and the environment, with a focus on the global health and human rights threat of climate change. International legal efforts to mitigate environmental damage and climate change—from the 1992 United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change and its 1997 Kyoto Protocol to the 2015 Paris Agreement—have been limited in addressing the threats posed to global health. Human rights will be necessary to examine efforts to mitigate and respond to these cataclysmic threats, including rising temperatures and extreme weather events, air pollution, infectious diseases, food, water and sanitation, and mental health. Facing this unprecedented threat, advocates can draw from past advances, including the use of litigation to protect human rights affected by the environment, the realization of the right to enjoy the benefits of scientific progress, and the implementation of human rights as a foundation of planetary health.

Abstract Purpose of Review The purpose of this review is to describe the combined impacts of the nutrition transition and climate change in Nigeria and analyze the country’s national food-related policy options that could support human and planetary health outcomes. Recent Findings This paper uses a food systems framework to analyze how the nutrition transition and climate change interact in Nigeria affecting both diets and the double burden of malnutrition, resulting in what has been termed the syndemic. Interactions between climate change and the nutrition transition in Nigeria are exacerbating diet-related inequities and will continue to do so if food systems continue on their current trajectory and without significant transformation. Siloed policy actions that attempt to mitigate one aspect of food system risk can create a negative feedback loop in another aspect of the food system. Our analysis finds that Nigeria has five national policies that include actionable steps to address food system insufficiencies; however, each of these policies is constrained by the boundaries of singular nutrition, climate change, and agricultural objectives. The country should consider a coherent policy environment that explicitly identifies and links underlying systemic and institutional drivers between climate change and malnutrition that simultaneously and comprehensively address both human and planetary health outcomes of food systems. Summary The systemic and institutional outcomes of this emerging syndemic—undernutrition, obesity, and climate change—are inexorably linked. Nigeria lacks a coherent policy environment taking on this challenging syndemic landscape. The analysis in this paper highlights the need for Nigeria to prioritize their national nutrition and agricultural and climate policies that uncouple feedback loops within food systems to address climate change and malnutrition in all its forms.

Crystal Ball

This paper revisits 3 broad predictions about forestry’s future presented by the author in 1993: the growing importance of products that come from forests, forests increasingly valued for more than the sum of their products and uses, and better appreciation of forests as complex ecological systems controlled by forces larger than humans. These predictions have played out in more dramatic ways than initially envisioned, driven in part by 3 emergent forces: the energy crisis, the ascension of new economic superpowers, and climate change. Examples of these trends and relationships are examined from Canadian and United States contexts.
