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.
