Table “Health and Nature”

The Health and Nature Table is a pioneering platform in our country that works for the conservation of nature as a guarantor of our health and well-being. At the same time, it works on its promotion as a health asset in a wide range of fields, both in terms of prevention and therapy.

Participants in the Table Health and Nature

The Table has a driving force formed by the Departament de Salut and the Departament de Territori i Sostenibilitat of the Generalitat de Catalunya, the Advisory Council for the Sustainable Development (CADS), the Diputació de Barcelona, ICTA-UAB, ISGlobal, the Nature Conservation Network (XCN) and DKV insurance.

The Table has a broad vision and support from organizations, with a high interest in getting involved in the various working groups and pilot tests. Work is currently underway to advance the implementation of pilot tests related to the different areas of work.

People’s health and well-being, depend in large part, on the natural environment in which they interact. This capsule explains, based on the evidence, the benefits of being in contact with nature on a regular basis.
