  • There is strong evidence on the positive public health outcomes from engaging with nature and biodiversity and from living near urban green spaces in cities.

    “There is strong evidence on the positive public health outcomes from engaging with nature and biodiversity and from living near urban green spaces in cities (44, 47, 56–62).”

    From Global synthesis and regional insights for mainstreaming urban nature-based solutions (2025) · cites this paper as [60]

    The Discussion and conclusions reports that 39 papers explored links between green space and human health, including proximity to green space and cardiovascular disease or well-being (page unavailable). This supports the general connection, but the review does not establish that the evidence is strong or that engaging with nature and biodiversity and living near green space produce positive public-health outcomes.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
