Nature for Health Equity: Creating Fairer, Greener, Healthier Communities

About this event

Nature is fundamental to our health. As well as supporting essential systems which provide our food, water and clean air, the natural world plays a vital role in our physical and mental health.

But does everyone have the same opportunities to connect with and benefit from nature?

What does the evidence tell us about the relationship between nature and health inequalities? Could better access to green and blue spaces help improve the health and wellbeing of those who would most benefit? What needs to happen for nature-based solutions to be delivered effectively for people and planet?
