Developing a 鈥榯rans-local鈥� approach to strengthening community-led responses to planetary health crises in the face of COVID-19.

Funded under Grand Challenges' 'Place: Equality & Prosperity' special initiative, this collaboration was听geared towards the development of a 鈥榯rans-local鈥� approach to strengthening community-led responses to planetary health crises in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic. The project was designed to forge 鈥榯rans-local鈥� networks of support across five distinct settings (Alaska, Finland, India, Kenya, and Peru).

To do so, the project partnered with five civil society organisations (CSOs)听strengthening community-led responses to planetary health crises in the face of COVID-19.听Each partner CSO听works in areas where geographic remoteness, social inequity and marginalisation from mainstream political decisions create an 鈥榚xtreme鈥� environment of vulnerability. They navigate interlocking challenges across scales, as localised experiences of health and social inequity intersect with, and are exacerbated by, global environmental crises, regional geopolitics, and globalized extractive economic systems.听Using a听trans-local learning approach anchored in place-based case studies, the project sought听to understand how CSO responses to COVID-19 can link livelihoods, equity, health, well-being and the environment to address current and future planetary health crises. Project participants came from a range of disciplinary backgrounds including anthropology, architecture, human rights, economics, environmental science, geography, medicine, public health, conservation, and education.

The activities were arranged to support three project objectives:

• To understand how civil society responses to COVID-19 can link livelihoods, inequity, health, wellbeing and the environment

Performing听a series of stakeholder interviews with each CSO, the project听developed in-depth case studies to understand how civil society responses to COVID-19 can link livelihoods, inequity, health, wellbeing and the environment. These insights were then refined through an online workshop and two months of collaborative writing. The result of the collaborative writing was a journal article submitted to the Lancet: Planetary Health.

• To build networks of learning and support to foster trans-local movements for planetary health

The project leads held an international workshop with representatives from HOPE (Finland), Ekjut (India), Sauti Dada and MAMA Kenya (Kenya), CALOR and Casita Huaran (Peru), Sitka Conservation Society and RAND (Alaska, US), STEMA and 香港六合彩中特网 (UK) to encourage network building and the sharing of experiences across contexts. As a legacy of the project, a website was听created as a platform for community building and dissemination of our results.

• To ground activities in research-based education, promoting local responses to planetary health crises

Each CSO developed a series of media activities (participatory photography, film, storytelling) to promote their work and demonstrate the ways that local responses can react to global crises. The case studies were also used to develop five educational vignettes using a systems approach to capture the inter-relationship between factors affecting health, linking COVID-19 to climate change and social inequity.

The project has generated multiple impacts - including the development of new insights on how CSO responses to COVID-19 can link livelihoods, equity, health, well-being and the environment to address current and future planetary health crises. These insights have been submitted in the form of an academic paper and have been shared to the 香港六合彩中特网 student cohort through a series of educational vignettes, grounding their learning in global on-the-ground experiences. In addition, another impact generated by the project is the development of new cross-context connections and a network of support for five civil society organisations, as well as an online platform (the project website) for ongoing dissemination of key messages relating to COVID-19 and planetary health.
