HUMAN HEALTH IS NOW OUR BIGGEST AND MOST URGENT SUSTAINABILITY PROBLEM

HUMAN BIOsystems
our interconnected biological systems (immune, neurological, vascular, energy) that are under threat from repeated infections and other environmental impacts.
Like climate change, prevention is no longer enough.
We need an adaptation and investment strategy.
HUMAN BIOsystems PROTECTION
Our adaptation and investment strategy connecting human and planetary health, the missing foundation of workforce and economic sustainability.
THE RIGHT TO A CLEAN, HEALTHY, SUSTAINABLE ENVIRONMENT.
HOW HUMAN BIOSYSTEMS PROTECTION INTEGRATES INTO EXISTING ENVIRONMENTAL LAW: ONE FRAMEWORK
-
CLEAN
PREVENTION
Establish indoor air quality and infection control as environmental protection infrastructure.
-
HEALTHY
TREATMENT + PROTECTION
Build financial safety nets and treatment pathways for all infection-associated chronic conditions.
-
SUSTAINABLE
INVESTMENT + INFRASTRUCTURE
Fund long-term biomedical research proportionate to burden, governed by affected communities.
OUR FIVE ASKS TO THE UN
We call on the UN Special Rapporteur on the Right to a Healthy Environment to:
Recognise all human beings as biological systems requiring protection
Integrate Human Biosystems Protection into Rights to Environment and Health
Include infection-associated chronic conditions within designated vulnerable populations
Establish international standards for workforce biosystems protection
Support Member States in implementing prevention, treatment and investment frameworks
