Global Change and Public Health: Addressing the Ecological Determinants of Health – http://www.cpha.ca/uploads/policy/edh-discussion_e.pdf
The future of life on Earth cannot be taken for granted as our species has the capacity to influence that future – for good or ill. This paper is not the definitive word on the topic of the ecological determinants of health. Its goal is to begin a conversation, stimulate debate and ultimately motivate the public health community to action.
