Concern has been spreading across scientific disciplines that the pervasive human transformation of Earth's natural systems is an urgent threat to human health. The simultaneous emergence of "GeoHealth" and "Planetary Health" signals recognition that developing a new relationship between humanity and our natural systems is becoming an urgent global health priority-if we are to prevent a backsliding from the past century's great public health gains. Achieving meaningful progress will require collaboration across a broad swath of scientific disciplines as well as with policy makers, natural resource managers, members of faith communities, and movement builders around the world in order to build a rigorous evidence base of scientific understanding as the foundation for more robust policy and resource management decisions that incorporate both environmental and human health outcomes.
科学界普遍担忧，人类对地球自然系统的广泛改造对人类健康构成了紧迫威胁。“地球健康”和“行星健康”这两个概念的同时出现表明，认识到人类与自然系统建立新关系正成为全球紧迫的健康优先事项——前提是我们要防止从过去一个世纪取得的重大公共卫生成果上倒退。要取得有意义的进展，需要广泛的科学学科之间以及与政策制定者、自然资源管理者、宗教团体成员和世界各地的运动推动者开展合作，以便建立一个严谨的科学理解证据基础，作为更有力的政策和资源管理决策的基础，这些决策要兼顾环境和人类健康成果。
