Die Zahlen aus dem Versorgungsbericht der BAfF zeigen, dass die Angebote der spezialisierten Psychosozialen Zentren für Flüchtlinge und Folteropfer (PSZ) stärker nachgefragt werden denn je. Es konnten zwar über 21.000 Klient*innen versorgt werden – doppelt so viele wie noch 5 Jahre zuvor. Da s...ich die Anzahl der Geflüchteten in Deutschland jedoch im gleichen Zeitraum verdreifacht hat, kann der Bedarf an Psychotherapie und psychosozialer Unterstützung bei weitem nicht gedeckt werden. Ginge man davon aus, dass bei etwa 30 % der in Deutschland lebenden Geflüchteten ein Behandlungsbedarf abgeklärt und gegebenenfalls adressiert werden müsste, dann beträgt der Anteil, der von den PSZ und ihren Partnern in der Regelversorgung abgedeckt wird, lediglich 6,1 %.

Planetary health is a transdisciplinary approach that aims to advance the understanding of the links between human-driven changes to the planet and their consequences, and to develop appropriate solutions to the challenges identified. This emerging movement has not yet agreed upon a code of ethics t...o underpin the rapidly expanding body of research being carried out in its
name. However, a code of ethics might support the principles for planetary health set out in the Canmore Declaration of 2018. Phrases such as “Public Health 2.0”, “Human Health in an Era of Global Environmental Change”, or “A safe and just operating space for humanity” are often used in planetary health discussions, but are not always clearly defined and so far, the field lacks a strong guiding ethical framework. In this paper, we propose a starting point towards a code of ethics for planetary health that builds on the Canmore Declaration.
