Compendium of WHO and other UN Guidance on Health and Environment

This compendium provides a systematic compilation of published guidance from WHO and other UN organizations on all major areas of health and the environment. This guidance also includes information about ways to raise awareness and advocate among the public and policy-makers, in addition to information about interventions to build and enhance capacity among various stakeholders. Guidance referring to priority settings for action – such as cities and other urban settlements, housing, workplaces and health care facilities – is also listed, as is guidance on cross-cutting topics, such as children’s environmental health and Health in All Policies, which aims to enhance collaboration across sectors to systematically consider health in policy-making.
