Population health promotion 2.0: An eco-social approach to public health in the Anthropocene

Human health depends on both natural ecosystems and social systems, yet recent efforts to improve population health have focused mainly on social factors. A Canadian Public Health Association report highlights the urgent need to address the ecological changes humans have caused, which now threaten health. It emphasizes the importance of recognizing the interplay between ecological and social determinants and calls for an eco-social approach to health promotion, which could transform public health practices in the 21st century. This shift, dubbed “Population Health Promotion 2.0,” aims for a more integrated and sustainable approach to improving public health.
