WHO concluded the successful Health in All Policies (HiAP) Workshop: The case of air pollution, urban health and sustainability. This was the 21st workshop in the Global WHO Training and Capacity Building Programme on HiAP.
The workshop was convened as a result of collaboration between WHO and the Association of Schools and Programs of Public Health (ASPPH) and the National Environmental Health Association (NEHA) and was attended by 23 professionals in the United States from health and other disciplines, working in public and environmental health, who wanted to learn more about how to integrate HiAP approaches in both academic and practical settings.
The participants developed action plans aimed at incorporating different aspects of HiAP approaches, thereby introducing and addressing air pollution issues into their academic curricula as well as their implementation work as environmental or HiAP officers and other public health roles.
