The emergence of the planetary health approach was highlighted by the report of The Rockefeller Foundation-Lancet Commission on Planetary Health in 2015 and changed how we comprehend human well-being. The report advocates integrating the health of other living beings and Earth's natural systems as intrinsic components of human health. Drawing on over three decades of experience in respiratory epidemiology and environmental health, this article outlines how my perspective on human health underwent a transformative shift upon reading the abovementioned report. The planetary health approach offers a lens through which human health issues and potential solutions can be understood within the context of the Anthropocene. It addresses the pressing existential challenges arising from humanity's transgression of planetary limits. Embracing the planetary health paradigm within the field of health sciences can catalyze transformative changes essential for cultivating a sustainable and equitable future.
行星健康方法的出现是由 2015 年洛克菲勒基金会-柳叶刀行星健康委员会的报告所强调的，改变了我们对人类福祉的理解。该报告主张将其他生物的健康和地球的自然系统作为人类健康的内在组成部分。本文借鉴了我在呼吸流行病学和环境卫生方面三十多年的经验，概述了在阅读上述报告后，我对人类健康的看法是如何发生转变的。行星健康方法提供了一个视角，可以在人类世的背景下理解人类健康问题和潜在的解决方案。它解决了由于人类超越了行星极限而产生的紧迫的生存挑战。在健康科学领域内接受行星健康范式可以促进变革性的变化，这对于培养可持续和公平的未来至关重要。
