On this episode we are joined by Dr Shivali Fifield from the Environmental Rights Centre for Scotland to talk access to healthy environments as a human right and how to make those rights real.   

We also speak to Professor Petra Meier, a Professor of Public Health at the University of Glasgow, and Director of the UKPRP-funded Sipher Consortium, a UK-wide hub for Systems Science in Public Health & Economic Research. She discusses her work on economic inequalities and health outcomes and the need for a system-wide view at tackling challenges of poverty, health and sustainability.
