Resource science and governance

We present the analysis of the state of the global natural resource base through the lens of the planetary health while designing the alliance of life sciences, legal and political studies, and the big data science. We set up priorities in both resource science and governance and suggest instruments and steps in closing the resource-health policy gap. This is a timely and unavoidable endeavor in the current context topped by the combined synergic 2008 and 2020 pandemics crises.
