We prevent diseases by providing leadership and building country capacity in key areas of environmental health, including water, sanitation and hygiene; clean, reliable and sustainable energy; air quality; harmful chemicals and radiation; climate change; ecosystem disruption; and emerging environmental health threats.

We address health threats through a One Health approach ranging across human, animal, and environmental sectors. We address the specific health needs of migrants and refugees through inclusive policies and health systems.
