Cami Moss and Francesca Harris suggest 5 actions. This article is part of The BMJ&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bmj.com\/anthropocene\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Health in the Anthropocene<\/a> collection.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The health of people and the planet hang in balance. It is clear that urgent action is needed and at all levels: from inter-governmental pledges to national legislation to local innovation and changes in consumer lifestyles. We are encouraged by the growing number of people supporting the deep social and economic transformations that will be required to prevent irreversible damage to our biosphere.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Many scientists are joining the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nature.com\/articles\/d41586-019-02791-2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">global climate strikes<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> or Extinction Rebellion activities, which are influencing public <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/yougov.co.uk\/topics\/politics\/articles-reports\/2019\/11\/07\/which-issues-will-decide-general-election\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">priorities<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> in the UK. It has been argued that academies like the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thelancet.com\/journals\/lancet\/article\/PIIS0140-6736(19)32260-3\/fulltext\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Royal Society<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> have a moral duty to lend their prestige and social capital in support of these movements.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">But is campaigning the most suitable or effective contribution to be made by research organisations? Not all of the representations or policy prescriptions made by campaign groups are aligned with <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.co.uk\/programmes\/p07mw56r\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">best evidence<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">. In the context of increasing public distrust in expert institutions, should scientists risk harm by suggesting that they may be influenced by any agenda other than truth? And is campaigning the best use of scientific capacity?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Solutions for planetary health will entail difficult trade-offs or may lead to unintended consequences. For example, emissions-cutting schemes such as increasing biofuels or building solar panels may result in major land use change and further loss of habitat for wildlife. The green energy boom has increased use of a greenhouse gas that is 23,000 times <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.co.uk\/news\/science-environment-49567197\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">more warming<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> than carbon dioxide. Livestock products reared in intensive industrial systems can often generate food at the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/iopscience.iop.org\/article\/10.1088\/1748-9326\/aa6cd5\/pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">lowest carbon emissions<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> per kg of product, but there is a cost to animal welfare.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Faced with such complexity, universities and research institutions should maintain a clear sense of purpose and mission. They should recommit themselves to the quest for truth and exercise the rigour, fair-mindedness, and independence required.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">At the same time, academies should do much more to bring the public and policymakers into view of the serious risks imperilling our health and home. Here we suggest five actions that scientific institutions can take to help meet the planetary health challenge without conceding credibility, public trust or partisan nonalignment \u2013 and which maximise their unique competencies.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Mediate truths<\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">: support governments to better communicate <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theccc.org.uk\/tackling-climate-change\/reducing-carbon-emissions\/how-the-uk-is-progressing\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">policy action,<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> impacts and plans<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">. Put these actions into context and \u2013 without political fear or favour \u2013 identify a range of additional actions with the potential to achieve climate and planetary health targets. Meanwhile, advocate to government on behalf of citizens to increase democratic input into policy decisions and to re-weight the influence of those with disproportionate financial and social capital.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Engage civil society and public bodies in research and evidence<\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">: improve efforts to involve organisations and individuals outside academia in the research process, while communicating high-quality evidence in novel and effective ways to enable translation of science into action.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Re-double the research<\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">: Prioritise the research of planetary health challenges and solutions, reaching across disciplines and professions, and press funders for allied support. Focus on innovations to reduce the usual academic research period and produce high-quality evidence on shorter, policy-relevant timescales.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Lead by example<\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">: Provide leadership to enact university-wide sustainable carbon and environmental footprint plans. Find ways to take meaningful action whilst respecting differences of opinion or values-driven priorities. For example, increase plant-based food options in <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lshtm.ac.uk\/research\/centres\/centre-climate-change-and-planetary-health\/news\/87106\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">university cafeterias<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, or provide means for <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.bristol.ac.uk\/green\/doing\/our-achievements\/big-give\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">reusable goods<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> to be donated rather than discarded.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">Uphold professional standards<\/span>:<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Scientific disciplines and professional bodies should outline codes of practice to be upheld by individual scientists who choose to engage with social or political movements.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The aim to secure planetary health is mutually held by all parties. Individual scientists should certainly be given the space to act according to conscience. But joining strikes or activist movements is only one way to respond and there is much more to be achieved \u2013 and conserved. Institutions can most effectively contribute to the greatest challenge of our time by upholding the values and practices of independent, rigorous scientific inquiry and trustworthy civic engagement.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.bmj.com\/bmj\/files\/2020\/03\/C_Moss.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-47037\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.bmj.com\/bmj\/files\/2020\/03\/C_Moss.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"156\" height=\"179\" \/><\/a>Cami Moss<\/strong> is a Research Fellow studying the links between diets, agriculture and biodiversity as part of the <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.lshtm.ac.uk\/shefs\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Sustainable and Healthy Food Systems<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> project.
