World Environmental Health Day is Sunday, September 26, 2021
Theme for the 2021 World Environmental Health Day: Prioritizing Environmental Health for healthier communities in global recovery.
“We are going through difficult times, due to COVID-19, declared by the WHO as Pandemic. This Pandemic has come to demonstrate the vital role of the Environmental Health workforce worldwide to face this challenging time for all of humanity.
On May 26, 2020, WHO released the “Manifesto for a healthy recovery from COVID-19” based on six key ideas. The purpose of this Manifesto is to seize the moment! The world, because of COVID-19, is going through the worst recession in decades, with losses in business, and consequently in jobs and income, which will bring irreparable damage to the achievement of the desired 17 SDGs. On the other hand, this pandemic has come to “uncover” the inequalities, namely concerning existing healthcare in the world. There is therefore a need for a fast recovery and an unprecedented investment worldwide.”
