Unveiling the Environmental Burden of Disease: Pioneering Climate Action for Health and Resilience
Discover the deep relationship between our environment and human well-being in the environmental burden of illness narrative. Our surrounds have a huge influence on our physical and mental health, from air and water quality to the built environment. This story emphasizes the role of environmental stewardship, legislation, and scientific research in addressing these concerns. Based on WHO's Global Burden of illness methodology, the UAE Environmental Burden of Disease Model provides a framework for measuring the national burden of illness caused by several environmental factors including climate change and pollution. This information is then used to design climate-resilient health systems for a better, more sustainable future. Join us on this healthcare frontier.
