The Environment, Health and Development Network is a new research forum focussing on the interconnections between environment and human health in the context of poverty and development. Its underlying aim is to promote a more effective integration of social perspectives within a multi-disciplinary body of work on the environment and health issues faced by poorer or more marginalised regions and communities around the world.
The network is based in the UK but brings together researchers and stakeholders from diverse countries, institutions and disciplines in order to:
- share resources and insights
- engage research with policy
- build working links
- develop multi-disciplinary initiatives.
It is intended to provide a channel for communication, dissemination and exchange of information, ideas and viewpoints. It will host conference and seminar events geared to knowledge integration, the research/policy interface and the building of research agendas.
The network is supported under the UK’s Joint ‘Environment and Human Health Programme’. To find out more about the initiative and how to join the network please use the full details link to be redirected to the network’s website.
