10 regarding the design of these types of interventions. Thomas Elmqvist and co- authors propose applying systems thinking to foster sustainable urban develop- ment and resilience. They discuss Knowledge-Action-Systems for urban health, in which knowledge of complex urban system functions and interactions with cli- mate change, and NBS for economic, environmental and social dimensions of urban development, are interlinked by constant feedback loops. The last chapter in this part by Stefan Heiland and colleagues refers to the opportunities for integrat- ing human health into landscape planning projects in order to cope with climate change and societal change. The authors discuss planning policy opportunities for incorporating health issues in Germany and the UK, and provide examples of health-promoting landscape design. The book is complemented with a conclusion chapter  which summarises the main challenges for research, policy and practice described in the chapters, high- lights opportunities for future developments, and presents  recommendations for tackling the inter-related issues  of biodiversity, health and climate change. We hope this book provides important pointers to the flourishing debate on the importance of biodiversity to human health in this current time of climate change, and illustrates good practice with demonstration case studies. Ultimately, we hope this book can fuel further advances in science, policy and practice. Many of the themes have applications beyond urban systems as they focus on solutions for pub- lic health, biodiversity conservation and climate adaptation in a changing world.
