At the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, those from racialised communities were the most vulnerable and at the highest risk of contracting the virus. This paper will show that to fully understand the link between high rates of COVID-19 mortalities and racialised communities, both an ecological analysis and biological lens is needed.

Mounting evidence supports the connections between exposure to environmental typologies (such as green and blue spaces) and human health. However, the mechanistic links that connect biodiversity (the variety of life) and human health, and the extent of supporting evidence remain less clear.

Today we launch the ‘Introduction to Ecological Health’ online learning course. The purpose of this course is to support community leaders, organisers and everyday folx to work towards understanding how health outcomes result from our interactions with the natural, built, social, economic and political environments around us.

In a remote canalside cottage in late January 2024, friend, advisor and collaborator Dr. Kavian Kulasabanathan asked a question that would linger in our minds for months, ‘how do you hold yourself accountable?

This is a guiding mantra that sits within all our work, and is the title of our latest essay on our work with Angela Fonso and the CASH community on Community Health Impact Assessments. In 2024 we were selected alongside 15 other groups by the British Science Association to write an essay reflecting our journey of co-production.

An update to our 2024 propositional paper from earlier this year. Resourcing radical knowledge infrastructure means to create the financial, cultural, and equitable pathways for people, groups and movements to create, surface, resurface, and amplify knowledges without restriction, in order to build community power.

Science Gallery London’s exhibition, Vital Signs: Another world is possible brings together artists, designers and researchers to explore these relationships and how the health of the natural world - from our waterways to our atmosphere and the ocean floor - is intimately connected to our own health and wellbeing.   

Taking on an Ecological Justice approach to the NPPF requires a foundational shift to the role and motivations around planning and the relationship with land in the UK.

Social and political policy, human activities, and environmental change affect the ways in which microbial communities assemble and interact with people. These factors determine how different social groups are exposed to beneficial and/or harmful microorganisms, meaning microbial exposure has an important socioecological justice context.
