In this commentary, we discuss health professions' education (HPE) leadership in relation to planetary health emergencies, suggesting that an 'eco-ethical leadership' approach is highly relevant. Building on both traditional and more contemporary leadership approaches and the need for HPE to be socially and environmentally accountable, we define the key features of eco-ethical leadership and its underpinning beliefs and values, then expand on these features in terms of leadership at intrapersonal, interpersonal, team, organisational and system levels. Eco-ethical leadership is needed to tackle a range of 'wicked' problems - a changing climate, environmental pollution, deforestation, all of which threaten global biodiversity and human civilisation. Such leadership requires passionate individuals to role model the behaviours and actions that are required to bring people along with them, not least the learners, many of whom are already concerned about their future. Eco-ethical leadership (and followership) offers an integrated approach for HPE, centred around sustainability, values, collaboration, justice, advocacy and, if need be, activism. The environment cannot not wait. Eco-ethical leaders already exist but their numbers are small. They are required in key positions in academia and healthcare to drive the agenda in partnership with learners, many of whom are already environmental advocates and activists.
在这篇评论中，我们讨论了与行星健康紧急情况相关的健康专业人员教育 (HPE) 领导力，提出了一种“生态伦理领导力”方法是高度相关的。基于传统和更现代的领导力方法，以及 HPE 需要对社会和环境负责的要求，我们定义了生态伦理领导力的关键特征及其基础信仰和价值观，然后从个人、人际、团队、组织和系统层面扩展了这些特征。需要生态伦理领导力来解决一系列“棘手”的问题——气候变化、环境污染、森林砍伐，所有这些都威胁着全球生物多样性和人类文明。这种领导力需要充满激情的个人来树立榜样，以身作则，不仅是学习者，他们中的许多人已经对自己的未来感到担忧。生态伦理领导力（和追随）为 HPE 提供了一种以可持续性、价值观、合作、正义、倡导为中心的综合方法，如果需要，还可以采取激进主义。环境不能等待。已经有生态伦理领导者，但他们的数量很少。他们需要在学术界和医疗保健领域的关键职位上，与学习者合作推动议程，其中许多人已经是环境倡导者和激进分子。
