In this era, grand challenges lies in biodiversity loss, climate change, and global noncommunicable diseases signify that planet and humanity are in crisis. Scholarly evidence from human and animal kingdom suggest that there is an optimism in planetary health which can provide a unique and novel concept where efforts toward survival and remediation can be made. With accurate navigation, the current challenges can be mitigated leading to a new reality, one in which the core value is the well-being of all. This paper discusses the drivers of planetary health and the role of community health workers (CHWs) in making health-care system more resilient that can produce multiple benefits to community and overall planetary health. A web-based international database such as Google, Google Scholar, SCOPUS/MEDLINE/PubMed, and JSTOR was searched relevant to a planetary health framework. The study findings suggest that CHWs can offer health care interventions through environmental health cobenefits across the spectrum of health effects of climate change cause and effects. These actions have been divided into four major categories (i. health care promotion and prevention, ii. health care strengthening, iii. advocacy, and iv. education and research) that CHWs perform through a variety of roles and functions they are engaged in protecting planetary health. CHWs contribute toward achieving sustainable development goals such as planetary health and focus on environment sustainability and well-being of entire mankind.
在这个时代,生物多样性丧失、气候变化和全球非传染性疾病等重大挑战表明地球和人类正处于危机之中。来自人类和动物界的学术证据表明,行星健康领域存在着乐观情绪,这可以提供一个独特而新颖的概念,在此基础上可以为生存和补救做出努力。通过准确的导航,当前的挑战可以得到缓解,从而带来一个新的现实,即核心价值是所有人的福祉。本文讨论了行星健康的驱动因素以及社区卫生工作者(CHWs)在使医疗保健系统更具韧性方面的作用,这可以为社区和整体行星健康带来多重益处。我们搜索了基于网络的国际数据库,如谷歌、谷歌学术、SCOPUS/MEDLINE/PubMed和JSTOR,以查找与行星健康框架相关的内容。研究结果表明,社区卫生工作者可以通过气候变化因果关系对健康影响的各个方面的环境健康协同效益来提供医疗保健干预措施。这些行动分为四大类(一、医疗保健促进与预防;二、医疗保健强化;三、宣传;四、教育与研究),社区卫生工作者通过他们在保护行星健康过程中所扮演的各种角色和履行的职能来开展这些行动。社区卫生工作者为实现诸如行星健康等可持续发展目标做出贡献,并关注环境可持续性和全人类的福祉。
