City in Nature

We will create a green, liveable and sustainable home for Singaporeans.

With challenges like climate change which bring about more extreme weather patterns and increasing urbanisation, we need to build a Singapore where residents will be able to enjoy a liveable, sustainable and climate resilient Singapore.

To do so, Singapore will be transformed into City in Nature. We will build upon what has been achieved and further restore nature into the urban environment.

Transforming Singapore into a City in Nature

To transform Singapore into a City in Nature, we are conserving and extending Singapore's natural capital island-wide, and raising animal health and welfare standards in Singapore. We have five key strategies to achieve this vision:

Expand the Nature Park Network

Intensify nature in gardens and parks

Restore nature into the urban landscape

Strengthen connectivity between Singapore's green spaces

Enhance veterinary care and animal management

This will be underpinned by the support and involvement of the community.
In support of SDGs:

Here at Laurentian University in Sudbury, Ontario, Canada we recently developed a new course and a 30-credit certificate in Ecohealth Promotion. The first cohort of students who completed the certificate will graduate this June 2025.  The webpage for the certificate is available here: https://laurentian.ca/certificate-ecohealth-promotion.  From our perspective, promoting ecohealth is the process of helping people to make personal decisions and think systemically about improving both their wellness and that of the surrounding ecosystem. To enhance personal and ecosystem well-being, people should be supported and encouraged, through harmonious interactions with nature, to aspire to a state of mutually beneficial relationships made across interwoven dimensions of well-being. The Holistic Model of Ecohealth Promotion focuses on introducing and implementing evidence-based wellness practices to enhance six interconnected dimensions of human well-being.  There are three internal dimensions (physical, mental, and emotional) representing endohealth, and three external dimensions (spiritual, social, and ecological) representing ectohealth.  The graphic above depicts the Holistic Model of Ecohealth Promotion. One example of an evidence-based wellness practice is “walking through a forest” since there is abundant evidence of the health benefits for mental, physical and emotional well-being.

We are working on creation of a professional society focused on One Health. The goal of this is to provide support, communication and education for those working at the intersection of Human, Animal and Environmental Health. Using a multidisciplinary approach, we are bringing environmental scientists, ecologists, human medical doctors and nurses, public health specialists, veterinarians, zoologists, and others to create both educational modules as well as mentorship for those in this arena. Facilitating exchange between these disciplines and supporting recognition of training with credentials is a secondary goal for all who work in One Health.

El proyecto buscó "Co-construir conocimientos e identificar estrategias de acción sobre las problemáticas vinculadas al cambio climático (CC), la salud y la agroecología, de forma transdisciplinaria en conjunto con el grupo de mujeres en la Red de Agroecología del Uruguay".

Realizado entre septiembre 2025 y noviembre 2024; y financiado por el fondo semilla CLIMA, AMBIENTE Y SALUD PARA LAS AMÉRICAS de la IAI. Desarrollamos una estrategia participativa de investigación y bajo el enfoque de la Ecosalud, con talleres en diferentes regiones de Uruguay donde participaron principalmente integrantes del grupo de mujeres en la RAU y mujeres vinculadas a la agroecología, y también técnicos estatales, decisores de políticas, académicos e integrantes de organizaciones de la sociedad civil, entre otros actores. Se detectaron problemáticas de salud física por exposición solar, salud mental por sobrecarga de cuidados y la incertidumbre en ciclos de la naturaleza, dificultades para la participación en ámbitos de decisión, entre otros. Se presenta a la agroecología como como estrategia de mitigación y transformación de estas problemáticas, y la necesidad de visibilizar + valorar el rol de las mujeres en la construcción de soluciones y redes de atención.

Proyecto integrado por investigadoras integrantes de la Comunidad de Práctica de Ecosalud de Uruguay.

This initiative engages people, predominantly youth (15 - 30 years old) in dialogue and visual artmaking about their feelings about climate change as well as visions for what a climate resilient and socially just future could look like. This arts-based approach helps participants process their climate emotions in a safe and supportive environment, and was created as a community-based response to the mental health impacts of climate change.

An Exploration of Life's Sacred Language and our Collective Journey 

# data[].attributes.body
One Living System explores the interconnectedness of global crises like climate catastrophe, social injustice, economic breakdown, and food insecurity, questioning whether these challenges are driven solely by political forces or deeper philosophical beliefs. The book suggests that our human-centric worldview may be fueling exploitation and oppression. Through a journey that blends sacred texts, metaphysical reflections, and political analysis, the book introduces the concept of a "Living System" — a holistic, interconnected way of viewing life and nature. By embracing this paradigm shift, readers are encouraged to re-engage with the world, reconnect with life’s natural rhythms, and take collective action for a sustainable and just future.

Developing the Community One Health Index

# data[].attributes.body
My PhD centers on developing the Community Health Index (COHI). I like to think of COHI as a tree. In this case, it is an umbrella acacia, what the Ngiturkana call Ewoi. Its roots represent key One Health priorities, identified through participatory fuzzy cognitive mapping with community members and other stakeholders. The trunk serves as the framework, connecting these priorities to measurable outcomes. Branches symbolize individual indicators selected and weighted through a participatory process. Some branches are thicker, reflecting indicators with a greater influence on the overall COHI score. Finally, the canopy represents the broader categorical outcomes that COHI aims to assess. A green healthy tree with strong roots and large branches represents a healthy and thriving community.

This collection brings together a range of Research Articles and Opinions focused on the topic of “Watersheds and Health” to profile contemporary efforts focused on integrated watershed management and governance as they relate to health of humans, other species, and ecosystems. This includes a paper first authored by a River.

Speculative Fiction for the Future of Health

As a collaborative artistic work presented at WDA 2024, an international wildlife health conference, my wife and I asked colleagues, friends and community members what health means to them. These voices were brought together to create a 'cacophony' (3min sound clip at link above), which explores the relationship between power, voice and the defining of 'health'. Which voices are heard, and which are not, and why? How do we resolve the 'cacophony' of competing definitions? What are the barriers to us understanding other perspectives? What is the challenge or opportunity of pluralism? What are the consequences of some voices being privileged above others in defining health? Are some definitions of One Health privileged, and what is the impact of that privilege?

Systems thinking and modelling, even when it's participatory, is not easily accessible to the whole community. In this project, led by Sarah Harrison, we took complex causal maps about flooding, sea level rise and health equity in South Dunedin, Ōtepoti, Aotearoa NZ, and worked with visual designer Yasmine El Orfi to create elements that a wide range of people can explore. We hope this project will be ongoing as a way to support adaptation decision-making in South Dunedin, as well as provide more generalisable tools. This visualisation project funded by Te Pūnaha Matatini.
