Canadian community of practice in ecosystem approaches to health with an ecohealth training and awards program
Ecosystem Approaches to Health (Ecohealth) have developed in response to the recognition that health and wellbeing are embedded within ecosystems. Ecohealth initiatives are characterised by integrated approaches to health and environment issues, where priority is given to participatory and interdisciplinary research that is conscious of social and gender equity. Research in Ecohealth brings together researchers in natural sciences, health sciences, social sciences and beyond, who work in direct collaboration with interested parties, political decision makers and stakeholders.
The Canadian community of practice in ecosystem approaches to human health (CoPEH-Canada) is open to any person interested in ecosystem approaches in research and/or intervention related to health.
This Canadian community of practice was initiated by a consortium of researchers from the Université du Québec à Montréal, the University of Guelph and the University of British Columbia, and is financed by IDRC. The community’s foundation is built on the three initiating university’s expertise in Ecohealth approaches; an expertise that hinges on research projects, education, and development projects with Latin American, African and Asian partners.
