Planetary Health and social-ecological research in the Anthropocene. An introduction to the Special Focus
Planetary Health, One Health, and Social Ecology converge yet differ in linking human wellbeing with ecological systems. Reflecting on the Anthropocene, we probe whether these frameworks reproduce anthropocentrism or open space for more-than-human justice. Particularly Planetary Health includes an intrinsic political dimension to enable a societal transformation of human civilization. The Special Focus highlights critical reflections on theory, methods, and applications of Planetary Health.
