健康在整个社会的分布并不均衡；人口群体之间存在着可避免的、不公平的、系统性的健康差异。其中一些群体（老年人、ame社区、某些非传染性疾病患者）由于合共病、结构性脆弱性以及面向公众或卫生和社会护理工作等因素，可能特别容易受到COVID-19暴露风险和严重后果的影响。此外，一些旨在减少SARS-CoV-2传播的限制措施，通过限制他们的活动和获得预防或健康促进服务，专门对这些群体产生影响。保持社交距离的绿色空间可能会减轻一些预计的COVID-19限制对健康的负面影响。维持或增加城市公共绿地，特别是为边缘群体提供的绿地，反映在可持续发展目标中，其重要性在2019冠状病毒病大流行中被放大。城市绿地应被视为一项公共卫生和社会投资，也是一个重新平衡我们与自然关系、防范未来流行病的机会。通过投资城市公共绿色空间，额外的好处（创造就业/粮食、促进生物多样性、碳封存）可能与健康好处同时出现。要实现这一点，需要改变决策平衡，重视保护、加强和提供与当地社区一起设计的更合适的绿色空间。当前的大流行提醒我们，人类对自然施加太多压力会造成破坏性后果。如果能够利用2019冠状病毒病经济复苏计划同时保护和恢复自然，解决气候变化和卫生不平等问题，那么这些计划将为可持续转型提供机会。
Health is not equally distributed across society; there are avoidable, unfair, systematic differences in health between population groups. Some of these same groups (older people, BAME communities, those with some non-communicable diseases (NCDs)) may be particularly vulnerable to risk of exposure and severe COVID-19 outcomes due to co-morbidities, structural vulnerabilities, and public-facing or health and social care jobs among other factors. Additionally, some of the restrictions designed to reduce SARS-CoV-2 spread impact specifically on these same groups by limiting their activity and access to preventive or health promotion services. Greenspaces, accessed with social distancing, may mitigate some of the predicted negative health effects of COVID-19 restrictions. Maintaining or increasing publicly accessible urban greenspaces, particularly for marginalised groups, is reflected in the Sustainable Development Goals, and its importance amplified in the COVID-19 pandemic. Urban greenspaces should be considered a public health and social investment and a chance to rebalance our relationship with nature to protect against future pandemics. By investing in urban public greenspaces, additional benefits (job/food creation, biodiversity promotion, carbon sequestration) may coincide with health benefits. Realising these requires a shift in the balance of decision making to place weight on protecting, enhancing and providing more appropriate greenspaces designed with local communities. The current pandemic is a reminder that humanity placing too many pressures on nature has damaging consequences. COVID-19 economic recovery programs present an opportunity for sustainable transformation if they can be leveraged to simultaneously protect and restore nature and tackle climate change and health inequalities.
