- Assessing portuguese healthcare professionals' perspectives on climate change-related health policies and national health service readiness: a qualitative studyPublication . Ponte, Nidia; Alves, Fátima; Vidal, Diogo GuedesO resumo enquadra-se na necessidade de reforçar a preparação do setor da saúde perante os impactos das alterações climáticas, da perda de biodiversidade e de tensões sociopolíticas. O estudo analisa as perceções de médicos em Portugal sobre as políticas de saúde relacionadas com as alterações climáticas e sobre o grau de preparação do Serviço Nacional de Saúde para responder a esses impactos. Recorreu-se a metodologia qualitativa, com 13 entrevistas semiestruturadas a médicos de várias especialidades (28–73 anos). Conclui-se que as políticas existentes são ainda incipientes e exigem medidas mais proativas e articuladas, destacando-se a necessidade de comunicação mais consistente e de orientações clínicas mais claras para lidar com efeitos das alterações climáticas na saúde pública.

- Cartografia social do território da Malcata: relatório territorializadoPublication . Alves, Fátima; Borges, Júlia; Castro, Paula; Gallo, Edmundo; Paula, Anabela; Vidal, Diogo GuedesO relatório "Cartografia Social do Território da Malcata" apresenta os resultados de um projeto colaborativo entre a Universidade de Coimbra e o Observatório Territórios Sustentáveis e Saudáveis da Fundação Oswaldo Cruz (Fiocruz), que resultaram de um trabalho participativo assente numa metodologia de cartografia social implementada na região da Serra da Malcata. O objetivo principal foi mapear as percepções sobre as características biofísicas e sócio-culturais e económicas dos territórios em foco, identificar os desafios e as potencialidades desses territórios a partir da perspectiva das comunidades locais, de modo a apoiar a transição ecológica e o desenvolvimento sustentável. As dinâmicas envolveram localidades como Vilar Maior, Sabugal e Malcata, identificando questões como despovoamento, insegurança hídrica e oportunidades no turismo de base comunitária. O estudo conclui com a proposta de estratégias de governança participativa e valorização dos patrimónios locais como ferramentas essenciais para revitalização e sustentabilidade territorial.
- Climate change and health: intercultural dialogue strategies between primary-care physicians and patients : a systematic reviewPublication . Ponte, Nidia; Alves, Fátima; Vidal, Diogo GuedesClimate change represents one of the most serious global threats to public health, with growing impacts on morbidity, mortality and health inequalities. These effects are not evenly distributed, and people and communities in greater social and cultural vulnerability are generally the most affected. At the same time, health services face growing challenges related to the socio-cultural diversity of their users, especially in primary health care, where the first contact with the system is established. Although the scientific literature recognises the importance of intercultural communication in the quality of care, there remains a critical gap in research that systematically explores how intercultural dialogue strategies have been thought through and applied in the context of the health impacts of climate change. Most existing studies treat these dimensions - healthcare, intercultural dialogue and climate change - in a fragmented way, without considering their intersection or combined effects on equity and community resilience. This fragmentation requires the review to be conducted based on three thematic blocks linked to each other: healthcare, intercultural dialogue and climate change. This mapping by blocks will make it possible to identify the existing contributions in each axis separately, and then explore their convergences, gaps and potential for integration. Recognising this dispersion, this review takes a critical and reflexive approach from the outset, seeking to build an analytical cartography of the field, sensitive to the methodological and epistemological diversity of the studies included.

- Cuidar com a Natureza: contribuições para um jardim terapêutico no espaço hospitalarPublication . Lencastre, Marina Prieto Afonso; Vidal, Diogo Guedes; Lopes, Hélder Silva; Monteiro, Irene; Regada, Marisa; Bandeira, Susana; Marques, Paulo FarinhaA relação entre natureza e saúde tem ganho cada vez mais relevância nas investigações contemporâneas em ciências da saúde e sociais, humanidades, psicologia evolutiva e ambiental e arquitetura paisagista. Este estudo, desenvolvido no Hospital-Escola Fernando Pessoa, analisou as preferências, funcionalidades e expetativas de pacientes, familiares, profissionais de saúde e gestores relativamente à criação de um jardim terapêutico. Integrado na rede Compor Mundos: Humanidades, Bem-estar e Saúde, e envolvendo uma equipa de diferentes universidades portuguesas, o projeto partiu de uma abordagem interdisciplinar que cruzou psicologia, sociologia, geografia e arquitetura paisagista. Através de métodos qualitativos e quantitativos, procurou-se compreender como um espaço verde pode conjugar cuidado, bem-estar e simbolismo num ambiente hospitalar. O jardim terapêutico é aqui entendido como um espaço material e simbólico, capaz de mediar experiências de vulnerabilidade e promover regulação emocional, oferecendo um complemento à lógica biomédica.
- Deliverable 2.3: research report on society and naturePublication . Alves, Fátima; Vidal, Diogo Guedes; Valentim, Cristina Sá; Guazzini, Andrea; Duradoni, Mirko; Costa, Paulo Manuel; Novelli, Luca; Puttini, SpartacoIn this deliverable “Research Report on Society and Nature” (D2.3) we intend to contribute to three major aspects of the Phoenix project, namely, the understanding of society-nature relations and their construction, the sociocultural influence on the implementation of the European Green Deal, and the methodological approaches to foster green transition in each pilot territory. The deliverable firstly aims to contribute to (1) a broader understanding of how societies and individuals in each pilot territory make sense and produce meanings about their relation with nature and the environment from different socio-cultural backgrounds, as sociocultural constructions; (2) secondly, to understand to what extent different sociocultural constructions of Nature and Environment can condition the implementation of European Green Deal measures and contribute to the ecological transition; and thirdly, (3) based on the social construction of nature and the environment in each pilot territory, provide considerations for the identification of the best methodological approach for deliberative and participatory processes ). This report emphasizes that the successful involvement of people in the ecological transition requires mechanisms of participation that are grounded in fair, inclusive, and plural processes. A transformative policy for ecological transition must deeply understand the biophysical, socio-economic, and cultural characteristics of the territories, requiring transformative processes at both individual and structural levels.

- Editorial: Shaping healthier cities. Ecosystem services and health for a responsive human-nature relationsPublication . Salata, Stefano; Vidal, Diogo Guedes; Alves, Fátima; Ribeiro, Ana Isabel; Artmann, MartinaShaping Healthier Cities -Ecosystem Services and Health for a Responsive Human-Nature Relations Cities have become the predominant living environments of human beings worldwide. In an era of social-ecological crisis intensified by climate change, loss of biodiversity, and socio-environmental injustice, the shaping of responsive cities is crucial for fostering healthy and regenerative urban societies and nature preservation beyond the instrumental value. The role of urban environmental spatial qualities should be rethought in light of the COVID-19 pandemic diffusion (Bolleter et al., 2022). However, the relationship between the daily environmental conditions of urban citizens and their health, as well as the interconnection between healthy nature as a basis for resilient cities are lacking an organic inclusion in the urban design, thus limiting the capacity for shaping cities in the context of planetary health (Pineo et al., 2021;WBGU, 2021). Although ecosystem services' relations with urban planning have been at the center of numerous publications aiming to find practical solutions for building sustainable cities, the systematic investigation of how ecosystem services affect human health is still an open subject. Furthermore, the well-being of citizens is a concept that goes beyond the instrumental values of nature, which are the This is a provisional file, not the final typeset article focus of the ecosystem service concept. In this regard, an integrative ecosystem services valuation 39 needs to consider relational and intrinsic values unfolding in responsive human-nature relations 40 striving for a good life for humans and non-humans in cities and beyond. Healthy urban human-41 nature relations call for a fundamental shift in attitudes and norms regarding how we deal with non-42 humans, considering that our health is inseparable from nature's health, a web of interdependencies 43 (Moore, 2015). This is also linked with biocultural diversity, which has gained attention since 44 recognizing the intangible cultural values of the natural environment as a key for promoting 45 intercultural dialogue among communities. In fact, there is a need to integrate and consider the 46 sociocultural specificities in each territory and the diversity of visions of human-nature relations in the new shaping of healthier cities for all, humans and non-humans.
- Everything everywhere all at once”: a methodological framework for an inclusive ecological transition pathwayPublication . Vidal, Diogo Guedes; Freitas, Helena; Alves, Fátima; Filho, Walter Leal; Newman, Julie; Lange Salvia, Amanda; Viera Trevisan, Laís; Corazza, LauraThe narrative of an ecological transition is currently widespread, representing a significant challenge facing humanity. While the need for this transition is evident, our research proposal is centered around a fundamental question: How can we ensure that the ecological transition is not only environmentally responsible but also equitable and inclusive, considering the unique characteristics of various contexts to ensure that no one, whether human or non-human, is left behind in the process? Leveraging our expertise gained from the PHOENIX H2020 project, this study aims to introduce, discuss, and reflect upon a methodological framework designed to identify the biophysical, socio-cultural, economic, and legal aspects of a given territory. This comprehensive approach is intended to foster an equitable and inclusive transition. The research encompasses 11 pilot contexts across seven European countries and employs a mix of secondary and primary data sources. The application of the methodological proposal unfolds in 4 four main/distinct phases: (i) identification of the major socioenvironmental concerns and challenges related to the EGD transition pathway in each pilot territory according to stakeholder’s information; (ii) structures-level analysis to understand how Nature and Environment are represented within a country’s legal framework and to identify the biophysical characteristics of the territory, both acting as drivers or barriers to the ecological transition; (iii) agency/intersubjectivity analysis to analyse the social perceptions about Nature and the Environment of a diverse range of target groups, such as local authorities, civil society organizations, the scientific community, economic activity representatives, and citizens; (iv) cross-referencing the three previous information phases to identify the opportunities, risks and vulnerabilities for the ecological transition in each pilot. Through a thorough exploration of this methodological framework, and by addressing the challenges and potentials it presents, our goal is to provide a robust scheme that places value on the unique socio-cultural and biophysical characteristics of each context. By doing so, we aim to develop and propose a methodological framework that embrace a wide range of stakeholders, fostering an ecological transition that challenges the one-size-fits-all approach that has been traditionally employed, valuing the socio-cultural and biophysical specificities of each of the contexts in order to find participation tools that leave no one behind (humans and non-humans).
