Description: Health in the Green Economy by World Health Organization "This document draws considerably upon the discussions of an international meeting of experts on Housing, health and climate change, hosted by the World Health Organization in October 2010"--P. iii. FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description Many strategies to reduce climate change have large, immediate health benefits, while others may pose health risks or tradeoffs. Examined systematically, a powerful new dimension of measures to address climate change emerges. WHOs Health in the Green Economy series reviews the evidence about expected health impacts of climate change mitigation strategies for key economic sectors, both in terms of health "co-benefits" and risks. The series identifies how better-design of housing, transport and energy policies could yield significant health "co-benefits and help prevent a growing global burden of non-communicable diseases. Examined through this "health lens", a powerful new dimension of evidence emerges to support more coherent "win-win" strategies for health, climate and sustainable development. Opportunities for potential health and environment synergies are identified in this first report for the housing sector.
