Challenge 6: Healthy planet: hazards, risk, management and solutions-oriented research
Our unsustainable use of nature is bringing the Earth system and its capacity to recover from global changes beyond the environmental boundaries that supported us as a society. Here, we discuss some urgent challenges that should be addressed for the human species to live with undesirable products resulting from its development : sustainable use of nitrogen, watersheds management for preserving water resources and their quality, environmental impact of plastics, increase of the resilience of marine ecosystems, restoration of the deteriorated marine coastal ecosystems, or the early detection of emergence of diseases. We advocate for the use of Nature based solutions to mitigate environmental problems, and also consider subjective wellbeing issues in the governance of societies for a future healthy planet.
