The power of health-environment co-benefits in the face of ecological backlash

  • Laurie Marrauld

Abstract

As the effects of climate change become increasingly evident on public health, environmental policies are facing a rise in social, political, and cultural resistance described as an "ecological backlash." This phenomenon challenges climate policies, environmental regulations, and changes in lifestyles. In this context, health-environment co-benefits serve as a strategic lever: climate-friendly policies can improve public health, reduce social inequalities, and increase acceptance of these transformations. This article analyzes this backlash, demonstrates how health co-benefits can support health that is compatible with planetary boundaries, and identifies the main drivers and barriers to their implementation.
