Drawing on the report of the Rockefeller Foundation-Lancet Commission on planetary health-Safeguarding human health in the Anthropocene epoch, this piece presents a discussion of the implications of the report's findings and conclusions for Africa. It explores the key planetary health challenges facing Africa and what Africa can do to address them. In addition to highlighting current and future trajectories of key environmental changes in Africa and their implications for health and well-being, this transcript from the 21st Conference of Parties (COP21) side event, "Healthy Lives on a Healthy Planet", identifies a set of priority action Africa needs to take in order to deal with these challenges. It ends with reflections and key recommendations from participants at the regional launch of the report in Nairobi, Kenya, in October 2015.
借鉴洛克菲勒基金会-柳叶刀行星健康委员会《在人类世保护人类健康》的报告，本文探讨了该报告的研究结果和结论对非洲的影响。它探讨了非洲面临的关键行星健康挑战以及非洲可以采取哪些措施来应对这些挑战。除了强调非洲关键环境变化的当前和未来轨迹及其对健康和福祉的影响外，这份来自第21届缔约方会议（COP21）会外活动“健康星球上的健康生活”的文字记录还确定了非洲应对这些挑战需要采取的一系列优先行动。文章最后是2015年10月在肯尼亚内罗毕举行的该报告区域发布会上参与者的思考和关键建议。
