A New Comprehensive Guide to Healthier Environments: The 2024 Update of the WHO and UN Guidance
The updated 2024 Compendium of WHO and other UN guidance on health and environment is a comprehensive collection aimed at improving public health through creating healthier environments. This guide offers over 500 actions that provide a framework for implementing interventions in areas such as air pollution, water, sanitation, hygiene, climate change, chemicals, radiation, and food systems.
To ensure users have the most up-to-date information, the Compendium is regularly updated with the latest major WHO and UN guidance on health and environment. The target audience includes decision-makers related to health and environment as well as those assisting them (such as mayors, ministry staff, UN country staff, etc.).
This guide was prepared by the World Health Organization (WHO) in collaboration with UN Environment, UNDP, and UNICEF. Its goal is to reduce diseases caused by environmental factors and save lives. In addition to the comprehensive guide itself, additional resources such as infographics are available for download.
