N1 - Funding Information:
Funding: Preparation of this research agenda received no external funding. However, the workshop on which the research agenda is based was financially made possible thanks to the generous hosting by Academia Sinica for all participants with additional support for 33 participants to attend and/or participate; the full support for 5 participants from low-and middle-income countries by the International Science Council; and the additional 9 participants that were self-funded. Organizational support was provided by the Future Earth global secretariat and Future Earth Taipei in collaboration with Academia Sinica. G.B.S. would like to acknowledge the International Research Fellow program of the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science. A.G. acknowledges the support of the Japan Science and Technology Agency (JST) (Grant: JPMJBF18T3) and the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS) (Grant: 17H05037). M.P. would like to acknowledge the support of The Rockefeller Foundation.

N2 - Human health and wellbeing and the health of the biosphere are inextricably linked. The state of Earth’s life-support systems, including freshwater, oceans, land, biodiversity, atmosphere, and climate, affect human health. At the same time, human activities are adversely affecting natural systems. This review paper is the outcome of an interdisciplinary workshop under the auspices of the Future Earth Health Knowledge Action Network (Health KAN). It outlines a research agenda to address cross-cutting knowledge gaps to further understanding and management of the health risks of these global environmental changes through an expert consultation and review process. The research agenda has four main themes: (1) risk identification and management (including related to water, hygiene, sanitation, and waste management); food production and consumption; oceans; and extreme weather events and climate change. (2) Strengthening climate-resilient health systems; (3) Monitoring, surveillance, and evaluation; and (4) risk communication. Research approaches need to be transdisciplinary, multi-scalar, inclusive, equitable, and broadly communicated. Promoting resilient and sustainable development are critical for achieving human and planetary health.
