SESSION 5 - Psychological effects of nature and biodiversity on human health and well-being
Chair: Dörte Martens (Eberswalde University for Sustainable Development, Germany)
1. What are the psychological effects of urban and rural nature on human health and well-being?
2. How can we assess these changes and develop indicators and guidance for management and planning?
3. What nature-based solutions for climate change adaption can foster positive psychological health effects?
SESSION 6 - Allergenic plants and vector borne diseases – relevance to human health in a changing climate
Chair: Regina Treudler (University of Leipzig, Germany)
1. What are the effects of climate change on allergenic species and vector borne diseases?
2. How can the clinical and socio-economic effects of altered allergenic species and (re) appearance of vector borne diseases in Europe be measured?
3. How can epidemiological and self-reported health studies or other approaches inform management?
SESSION 7 - Nature-based solutions for climate change adaptation and their role in fostering health and socio-environmental equity
Chair: Melissa Marselle (German Centre of Integrative Biodiversity Research - iDiv, Germany)
1. What is the evidence that nature-based solutions for climate change adaptation can foster human health and/or environmental justice?
2. How do existing case studies/projects measure the impact of nature-based solutions on health and/or environmental justice?
3. How can nature-based solutions be integrated into overarching municipal goals and strategies?
SESSION 8 - Planning and managing urban green spaces for health and biodiversity in a changing climate – Concepts, experiences, practice
Chair: Stefan Heiland (Technische Universität Berlin, Germany)
1. How can health promotion be integrated into instruments of nature conservation and environmental planning (landscape planning, environmental assessments, management plans of nature reserves) in an urban context?
2. Which sectors and actors from administrations and civil society have to be involved into health-related planning processes and decisions? Which experiences exist so far?
3. Supporting biodiversity, health and climate change mitigation and adaptation: Which conflicts and synergies have to be considered? How could conflicts be minimized and synergies created?
