尽管在公共卫生和地球卫生领域内，人们非常重视发展一种既有利于人民健康又有利于环境的经济制度，但非正统经济学派在这些领域内却很少受到注意。生态经济学是一个与公共和地球健康特别相关的思想流派。在这篇文章中，我们讨论了关键生态经济学思想对公共和地球健康的影响，特别是那些与国内生产总值作为衡量进步的标准和经济增长作为经济和政策决策的主要目标的批评有关的思想。我们认为，生态经济学与公共卫生目标，包括对平等和再分配的关注。生态经济学提供了一个机会，可以过渡到一个从一开始就旨在促进人类和地球健康的经济体系，而不是一个必须在事后不断纠正社会和环境外部性的经济体系。生态经济学的重要思想包括使用多维框架来评估经济和社会绩效，在决策中优先考虑福祉和环境目标，考虑复杂关系的政策设计和评估，以及供应系统（将资源使用和社会成果联系起来的物理和社会系统）的作用。我们讨论了在国家范围内可能采取的干预措施，这些措施可以促进公共卫生，并与社会和生态目标的优先次序保持一致，包括普遍基本收入或服务以及主权货币创造。总的来说，我们奠定了生态经济学原则和多元经济思想到公共和行星健康学术和实践的额外整合的基础。
Despite substantial attention within the fields of public and planetary health on developing an economic system that benefits both people's health and the environment, heterodox economic schools of thought have received little attention within these fields. Ecological economics is a school of thought with particular relevance to public and planetary health. In this article, we discuss implications of key ecological economics ideas for public and planetary health, especially those related to critiques of gross domestic product as a measure of progress and economic growth as the dominant goal for economic and policy decision making. We suggest that ecological economics aligns well with public health goals, including concern for equality and redistribution. Ecological economics offers an opportunity to make the transition to an economic system that is designed to promote human and planetary health from the outset, rather than one where social and environmental externalities must be constantly corrected after the fact. Important ideas from ecological economics include the use of a multidimensional framework to evaluate economic and social performance, the prioritisation of wellbeing and environmental goals in decision making, policy design and evaluation that take complex relationships into account, and the role of provisioning systems (the physical and social systems that link resource use and social outcomes). We discuss possible interventions at the national scale that could promote public health and that align with the prioritisation of social and ecological objectives, including universal basic income or services and sovereign money creation. Overall, we lay the foundations for additional integration of ecological economics principles and pluralist economic thinking into public and planetary health scholarship and practice.
