The comment period is closed.
Thank you to everyone who commented on this chapter. Revisions are in progress.
This chapter examines how access to healthy ecosystems directly influences physical, mental, and community well-being, with nature playing a role in reducing disease risk, promoting recovery, and improving quality of life. It stresses that these benefits are not equally distributed and calls for equitable access to nature as a public health imperative.
