Keynote Address from Prof. Michael Depledge

Professor Michael Depledge (former Chairman of the UK Science Advisory Committee on the Environment & Climate Change) delivered a thought provoking colloquium keynote address on the topic of "Health and the Value of Nature". Professor Depledge, who has recently established the European Centre for Environment and Human Health in Cornwall, talked about the importance of the natural environment to human health outlining evidence from his research that close interaction by people with their natural environment (whether it be a walk on the park, cycling in the countryside or a swim at the beach) has demonstrable beneficial health effects.
