Is an interdisciplinary event that presents renowned speakers to discuss the relationship between nature and health. Climate change is an indisputable fact that threatens human and planet health. In a post-pandemic world, it is time to reflect, to dialogue and find local and global integrative solutions, based on themes such as Eco Health / Planetary Health, connection-disconnection-reconnection with nature, nature-based health interventions, new spaces for health promotion, awareness and convergence between health and sustainability.
It is time to unequivocally unite human well-being and the conservation of biodiversity. People need nature and nature needs the care of people.

He is currently chairman of the global board of Birdlife International, member of the advisory committee of the Alliance of Bioversity International & the International Center for Tropical Agriculture (CIAT), member of the advisory committee of the global sustainability research program Future Earth, member of Bayer's External Sustainability Council and board member of several Brazilian conservation organizations – Instituto Life (Curitiba), SAVE Brasil (São Paulo), Biodiversitas Foundation (Belo Horizonte), Sustainable Amazon Foundation (Manaus) and Pró-Natureza Foundation (FUNATURA) , of which it is a founding member and its current president. In 2018, he received the National Biodiversity Award from the MMA.
He graduated in Psychology, University of Nottingham. He completed a PhD in Psychology on Social Support and Health: the Role of Cardiovascular Reactions to Stress, Glasgow Caledonian University. He did postdoc work in cardiology in USA.
David's work has helped to understand the impact of stress and pressure on health, wellbeing and performance. He uses a wide range of methodologies ( epidemiological, experimental, psychophysiological, self-report, observation) to elucidate mechanisms and develop plausible interventions. His recent work has focused on nature connectedness and how nature-based approaches can support good health.
He is a member of the British Psychological Society and the Health Professions Council as a health psychologist.
She is internationally recognized for her discoveries in the science of the mind-body interaction in illness and healing, and the role of place in wellbeing. She is a pioneer and major force in collaborative initiatives on mind-body-stress-wellness and environment interrelationships.
Dr. Sternberg is the author of two best-selling popular books including: Healing Spaces: The Science of Place and Well-Being and The Balance Within: The Science Connecting Health and Emotions, which are highly readable, informative, and scientifically based inspirations for lay persons and professionals alike, seeking answers to the complexities and 21st century frontiers of stress, place, healing, and wellness. Healing Spaces: The Science of Place and Well-Being was recognized by the President of the American Institute of Architects as an inspiration for launching the AIA’s Design and Health Initiative.
She has advised the World Health Organization; the US Institute of Medicine; the Royal Society, London; the Vatican, where she had an audience with Pope Benedict XVI; and has briefed high level US Federal Government Officials including the Office of the Surgeon General, leadership of the National Institutes of Health, the Department of Defense, and the United States Congress.

Editor, producer and bird watcher.
Junia was Director of the Corporate Realty Services area at Citibank Brasil for 15 years.
She has a degree in Civil Engineering from the Federal University of Minas Gerais with a specialization in Urbanism, an MBA in Business Management from Fundação Getúlio and specialization in management from Loughborough University, England.
Her research experience and interests over the past few years concern the well-being benefits that people gain from engagement with trees, woodlands and green spaces at a variety of different levels of activity from ‘hands on’ engagement, such as volunteering, to using and being in woodlands through walking, cycling etc. This aspect of Liz’s work focuses particularly on health and restoration in terms of physical, mental and social health, and also on education and learning particularly through approaches to outdoor learning. She is interested in how the benefits people gain can potentially lead to wider impacts on individual’s lives, and community development and capacity building. Liz is increasingly involved in evaluations of programmes and interventions aimed at engaging a wide variety of groups with nature and focused on sustaining or changing behaviours. These include evaluations of the Grow Wild Programme for the Royal Botanic Gardens Kew, the Active Forest programme for Forest Enterprise England and the Westonbirt Arboretum community inclusion programme.
She has also been involved in a number of other interdisciplinary projects with ecologists, economists, psychologists, biologists and finds this a particularly important way of gaining different perspectives, understanding other approaches and methods, and seeing how these can be incorporated into new research. She has and is collaborating with many countries on research and in the exchange and development of evidence and ideas.
