Health and Biodiversity
Key words * one health, eco innovation, climate change, environmental care
Introduction and aims *
In times of accelerated transformations that the post-globalized world is going through, a state of emergency exerts pressure for the elaboration of scientific policies with a focus on biodiversity as a central element. The objective of this session is to dialogue about health and biodiversity, embracing the human component as a dynamic point of policies and practices that can change behaviors and favor a more sustainable life.
 
Abstract *
In times of accelerated transformations that the post-globalized world is going through, a state of emergency exerts pressure for the elaboration of scientific policies with a focus on biodiversity as a central element. Time is getting shorter and shorter to avoid or reduce threats to life resulting from climate change, through new modes of production and consumption, considering the new ecological paradigm. Therefore, it is urgent to recognize that for biodiversity conservation to meet the goals of sustainable development, related policies must use socio-biodiversity concepts and present eco-productive models. The objective of this session is to dialogue about health and biodiversity, embracing the human component as a dynamic point of policies and practices that can change behaviors and favor a more sustainable life. The result to be achieved from the dialogue in this session is to observe and adopt new models that allow both the generation of jobs and education, the strengthening of the local economy and, mainly, the maintenance and regeneration of ecosystems.
 
Expected outcomes *
The result to be achieved with this session's dialogue is to observe and adopt new models that allow both the generation of jobs and education, the strengthening of the local economy and, mainly, the health, maintenance and regeneration of ecosystems.
