الوصف: Little is known on how community-based responses to planetary health crises, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, can integrate concerns about livelihoods, equity, health, wellbeing, and the environment. We used a translocal learning approach to co-develop insights on community-based responses to complex health and environmental and economic crises with leaders from five organisations working with communities at the front line of intersecting planetary health challenges in Finland, India, Kenya, Peru, and the USA. Translocal learning supports collective knowledge production across different localities in ways that value local perspectives but transcend national boundaries. There were three main findings from the translocal learning process. First, thanks to their proximity to the communities they served, community-based organisations (CBOs) can quickly identify the ways in which COVID-19 might worsen existing social and health inequities. Second, localised CBO actions are key to supporting communities with unique challenges in the face of systemic planetary health crises. Third, CBOs can develop rights-based, ecologically-minded actions responding to local priorities and mobilising available resources. Our findings show how solutions to planetary health might come from small-scale community initiatives that are well connected within and across contexts. Locally-focused globally-aware actions should be harnessed through greater recognition, funding, and networking opportunities. Globally, planetary health initiatives should be supported by applying the principles of subsidiarity and translocalism. ; Non peer reviewed

Relation: The work was funded by a University College London Grand Challenges grant under its Place: Equality & Prosperity initiative. GS, LERP, and CW are supported through Stema. AC-G, IK, EM, and LERP receive funding from Belmont Forum by the UK's Natural Environment Research Council (grant number NE/T013656/1) and US National Science Foundation (grant number 2028065). Through the translocal health project, we worked with five CBOs from eastern India (Ekjut), Andean Peru (Casita Huaran), western Kenya (Sauti Dada), southern and northern Finland (HOPE), and southeast Alaska (Sitka Conservation Society). The translocal health project was initiated during the COVID-19 pandemic to better understand and support the work of small-scale CBO partners affected by the pandemic. All CBO partners were engaged in pandemic responses and were identified though our existing research networks. The translocal health project was facilitated by a team of academics in the UK and USA. The academic role was not to lead but to promote translocal connections through bringing together partners and providing a platform for mutual learning. The translocal health project was supported by a small grant from University College London Grand Challenges.; http://hdl.handle.net/10138/569811; 85173479129
