461 ent approach to behaviour change. The author argues for a ā€˜capacities-first approach’ to support future citizens to become ā€˜behavioural entrepreneurs’ who can identify, execute and maintain the needed behaviours themselves. Supporting behavioural entrepreneurs requires ensuring they have mental clear-headedness in order to iden- tify, plan, self-initiate and regulate behaviour. As mental clear-headedness is a lim- ited cognitive resource, behavioural entrepreneurs will need to spend time in nature to help restore their depleted cognitive resources and cope with the stress of living in their new world. To embed health agendas in conservation management and vice versa, national and global policy agendas need to be aligned across the biodiversity, health and climate sectors. Horst Korn and co-authors detail these first steps and highlight the developments in the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) and the collabora- tion of CBD with the WHO on the issue of health and biodiversity. In parallel, the 2020 Health Policy Framework of the WHO European region considers environ- mental conditions; such considerations need to be strengthened to include specific biodiversity linkages in the next review. The UN 2030 Agenda on Sustainable Development already links various Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) relating to health, biodiversity and climateĀ  change, and it will now depend on regional, national and local implementation to achieve its ambitious goals. As attention on the importance of nature and health linkages increases, Hans Keune and co-authors argue that there is a need to build bridges between the natureĀ  conservation and publicĀ  health sectors. Giving case-study examples of nature and health network initiatives from several European countries, the authors demon- strate how professionals from science, policy and practice can work together to address both nature and health goals. To facilitate future linkages between these sectors, the authors recommend strengthening inter-network collaboration through capacity building and integration. They additionally emphasize the need for struc- tural support to encourage capacity-building activities. The authors stress the impor- tance of linking existing priorities inĀ  local, national and international policies to mainstream the importance of natural environments for human health; in this regard, the One Health approach may be one way to mainstream biodiversity and health issues. 20.5 Implications forĀ  Planning andĀ  Managing Urban Green Spaces forĀ  Biodiversity andĀ  Health inĀ  aĀ  Changing Climate The inter-relationships between biodiversity, human health and climate change have implications for both urban planning and management. This fourth part of the book deals with the implications of the inter-relationships of biodiversity and health in the face of climate change for protected area managers, city authorities, urban plan- ners and landscape architects.
