Global changes have already begun to affect human health. They involve global issues such as climate change and stratospheric ozone depletion, and issues of natural resource degradation such as land degradation and desertification.
WHO/Europe works to identify policy options to help prevent, prepare for and respond to the health effects of these changes, and supports its Member States in selecting and implementing most suitable strategies.
The programme on global change and health, started on mandate of the Third Ministerial Conference on Environment and Health in 1999, also promotes healthy environmental policies and coordinates a Europe-wide interagency network.
