In this context, the importance of human interactions with the natural environment to promote healthy lifestyles was primarily a response to the need to preserve and enhance the value of the UNESCO Global Geoparks as well as highlighting their usefulness for the sustainable development of local populations. The aim of this paper is to suggest an interdisciplinary approach to be applied to UNESCO Global Geoparks for a standardized survey and grading methodology that can be used to assess the ability to provide and promote healthy lifestyles, which is called the Ecosystem\u2019s Health Provision Spectrum (EHPS) on an ecological scale. The suggested EHPS is in line with UNESCO\u2019s priorities, in particular with the IGGP and its motto of \u201cGeosciences in the Service of Society\u201d. Therefore, the EHPS on an ecological scale will be another important tool for the UNESCO Global Geoparks, facilitating efficient management and promoting economic development, wellbeing and health.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/geosciences8030100","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,3,15]],"date-time":"2018-03-15T05:06:43Z","timestamp":1521090403000},"page":"100","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":18,"title":["An Emerging Paradigm for the UNESCO Global Geoparks: The Ecosystem\u2019s Health Provision"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"8","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6019-6944","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ronaldo","family":"Gabriel","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Sport Sciences, Exercise and Health, Centre for Research and Technology of Agro-Environmental and Biological Sciences, University of Tr\u00e1s-os-Montes &amp; Alto Douro, Quinta de Prados, 5000-801 Vila Real, Portugal"}]},{"given":"Helena","family":"Moreira","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Sport Sciences, Exercise and Health, Research Center in Sports Sciences, Health and Human Development, Centre for Research and Technology of Agro-Environmental and Biological Sciences, University of Tr\u00e1s-os-Montes &amp; Alto Douro, Quinta de Prados, 5000-801 Vila Real, Portugal"}]},{"given":"Ana","family":"Alenco\u00e3o","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Geology, Centre for Mechanical Engineering, Materials and Processes of the University of Coimbra, University of Tr\u00e1s-os-Montes &amp; Alto Douro, Quinta de Prados, 5000-801 Vila Real, Portugal"}]},{"given":"Aur\u00e9lio","family":"Faria","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Sport Sciences, Research Center in Sports Sciences, Health and Human Development, University of Beira Interior, Rua Marqu\u00eas D\u2019\u00c1vila e Bolama, 6201-001 Covilh\u00e3, Portugal"}]},{"given":"Elizabeth","family":"Silva","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Portuguese National Forum of UNESCO Global Geoparks, Portuguese National Commission for UNESCO, Largo das Necessidades,1350-215 Lisboa, Portugal"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0811-2413","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Artur","family":"S\u00e1","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Geology, Geosciences Center of the University of Coimbra, University of Tr\u00e1s-os-Montes &amp; Alto Douro, Quinta de Prados, 5000-801 Vila Real, Portugal"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2018,3,14]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"473","DOI":"10.1146\/annurev-environ-012312-110838","article-title":"Humans and nature: How knowing and experiencing nature affect well-being","volume":"38","author":"Russell","year":"2013","journal-title":"Annu.
