In this episode of the Nature-Based Therapy Podcast, Johan Östberg speaks with Dr. Matilda van den Bosch, a physician and environmental health scientist renowned for her work at the intersection of nature, health, and public policy. With expertise in both medicine and landscape planning, and through her work with ISGlobal and the World Health Organization, Matilda has contributed to shaping global understanding of how natural environments support human health and well-being.

The conversation explores the role of urban nature as a public health resource, the importance of equitable access to green spaces, and the challenges of translating scientific evidence into actionable policy and planning strategies. Matilda also shares insights from large-scale research on the health impacts of green and blue spaces, and reflects on how nature-based approaches can be integrated into preventive healthcare and urban development.
