Abstract
This article explores the connection between climate action and health through a literature review and a case study on an ecovillage. Three key climate action tracks with significant health co-benefits are identified: air quality, urban planning, and food systems. A case study of an ecovillage demonstrates the positive impacts of local climate practices on residents' physical and mental health. The authors argue that small-scale, collective climate practices in ecovillages offer valuable insights for addressing the climate crisis and promoting well-being.
