We are starting a new stream of work that will look at the environmental and health implications of China's global engagement, including the Belt and Road Initiative. The development of new forms of connectivity and the strengthening of existing ones, as well as the transfer of industries and people, will cause profound changes in the environmental and social drivers of health in the regions involved. Understanding these will be crucial to ensuring that China's international engagements have positive impacts on public health. We will be considering what other regions might learn from China's experience and how interdisciplinary research can contribute to a "healthy" Silk Road.
