9 and international policy and practice  support for biodiversity, climate change, and human  health. Penny Cook and co-authors provide a comprehensive overview of the scientific literature on the linkages between public health, climate change and biodiversity. The authors demonstrate how access to, and use of, urban green spaces can reduce social inequalities in health, a key goal of modern public health policies and pro- grammes. Reflecting on the health and well-being benefits of nature, Zoe Davies and colleagues discuss the management options to ensure that both biodiversity conservation and people’s health are considered. The authors argue that the evi- dence on biodiversity-health relationships suggests that green spaces should be managed for both people and biodiversity conservation. As the consequences of climate change and biodiversity loss will require humans to change their behaviour to consume far fewer resources in a resource finite world, Raymond De Young dis- cusses how to initiate long-term behaviour change. The author argues for a “capacities- first approach” to support people to become “behavioural entrepre- neurs” and self-initiate behaviour change. To assess how health agendas are embed- ded in biodiversity policies and vice versa, Horst Korn and co-authors review the international policy agendas with the potential to foster linkages between biodiver- sity conservation and human health, and identify alignments between sectors and avenues for implementation. Reflecting on institutional aspects and challenges of integrating nature and health, Hans Keune and co-authors highlight the need for increased and improved collaboration between the health and nature sectors, as well as science, policy and practice. The chapter presents several international/European examples of nature and health network initiatives as well as various national activi- ties in Europe alongside summarising successes and challenges of each initiative. 1.3.4 Part IV: Planning and  Managing Urban Green Spaces for  Biodiversity and  Health in  a  Changing Climate The last part focuses on planning and managing green spaces in and around cities for nature conservation, health and climate change adaptation. In particular, this part discusses how managers of protected areas and urban green space can work with other sectors to maximise the benefits of these places, and how landscape planners can design urban environments that benefit both people and nature. Kathy MacKinnon and colleagues provide a scene-setting chapter in which they highlight the benefits and services that NBS and protected areas provide for biodiversity, health and climate change adaptation, inter alia in the context of the SDGs. The authors discuss the need for increased and improved collaboration between sectors and stakeholders to foster the use of NBS and protected areas for these multiple benefits. Complementing this chapter, Ruth Hunter and co-authors review the effectiveness of urban green space interventions for improving health and biodiversity and provide recommendations for research, policy and practice 1 Biodiversity and  Health in  the  Face of  Climate Change: Challenges, Opportunities…
