讨论了一个国家研讨会的结果，该研讨会探讨了与城市淡水在改善公共卫生方面的作用相关的社会和环境影响、挑战和研究机会。这篇评论汇集了来自城市水生生态和人类健康背景的学者、实践者、政策和用户群体的集体专业知识，从跨部门和跨学科的角度，通过综合目前对城市水生生物多样性与健康相关生态系统服务成果的理解和知识，为未来的研究制定了一个进步的议程。主要领域包括：(A)需要加强各部门之间的互动，以最大限度地扩大合作机会，促进与城市淡水生态系统相关的共同惠益(包括环境和健康)；(B)需要对跨部门和各学科的水生生物多样性的定义有统一的理解和操作，以提高我们对实际淡水生物多样性或对生物多样性的看法对于最大限度地提高健康成果是否重要的理解。与城市淡水生态系统服务、资源分配和投资相关的评估方法对于确保研究解决蓝色空间的健康和环境效益最大化的路径和背景至关重要。本文归类为：人类水的价值
The findings of a national workshop that explored the social and environmental impacts, challenges, and research opportunities associated with the role of urban freshwaters for improved public health are discussed. Bringing together the collective expertise of academics, practitioners, policy, and user‐groups from urban aquatic ecology and human health backgrounds, this commentary develops a progressive agenda for future research by synthesizing current understandings and knowledge of urban aquatic biodiversity relative to health‐related ecosystem service outcomes, from a cross‐sectoral and cross‐disciplinary perspective. Key areas include (a) a need for greater interaction between sectors to maximize opportunities for collaboration and to promote the cobenefits (both environmental and health) associated with urban freshwater ecosystems; and (b) the need for a unified understanding and operationalization of the definition of aquatic biodiversity across sectors and disciplines, to improve our understanding of whether actual freshwater biodiversity or the perception of biodiversity is important for maximizing gains in health. Methods of valuation relating to ecosystem services and resource allocation and investment in urban freshwaters are critical in ensuring that research addresses the pathways and contexts within which health and environmental benefits from blue space can be maximized.This article is categorized under:Human Water > Value of Water
