World Environmental Health Day

World Environmental Health Day

World Environmental Health Day

World Environmental Health Day is celebrated annually on September 26th. This day was established by the International Federation of Environmental Health (IFEH) to raise global awareness about the crucial role of environmental health in protecting public health and well-being.

It is a global observance dedicated to raising awareness about the critical connection between human health and the environment. The day highlights the importance of addressing environmental issues such as pollution, climate change, and poor sanitation to protect public health.

The theme for World Environmental Health Day 2024 is “Healthy Environments, Healthy People: Our Planet, Our Health.” This theme emphasizes the interconnectedness of human health and the environment, highlighting the importance of creating healthy environments for all.

The significance of environmental health lies in the fact that contaminated air, water, and soil can cause various diseases such as respiratory illnesses, waterborne infections, and food poisoning. A clean and healthy environment is essential for overall well-being, encompassing both physical and mental health. By safeguarding the environment, we ensure that future generations will have a healthy planet to inhabit.

You can get involved in improving environmental health by taking simple actions such as staying informed about environmental issues and their impact on health, reducing your footprint, encouraging your community leaders to prioritize environmental health policies, and donating to or volunteering with organizations working to protect the environment, like Rajarata Zero Plastic.
