The journal Healthcare is publishing a Special Issue on “Ethics, Health, and Natural Resources” to investigate some of the most interesting, important, and complex intersections of healthcare ethics and environmental ethics exploring questions like:
1. Which features of ethical deliberation about healthcare and the environment are most in need of transformation and why?
2. How ought we go about the project of transforming public debates to generate innovation in our ethical approaches to health and ecological stewardship?
3. Which ethical values are most critical for thinking powerfully about our obligations as individuals and as collectives to motivate conditions that support health?
4. Which ethical values, critical frameworks, or theoretical approaches are most helpful in negotiating tension among individual well-being, community well-being, and ecological well-being?
5. What are ethical value-based strategies for weighing short-term industrial and economic gains against short- and long-term consequences for health and ecology?
