Budapest Declaration on Environment and Health: One year on… 

In July 2023, countries of the WHO European Region gathered at the 7th Ministerial Conference on Environment and Health in Budapest, Hungary. They adopted the Budapest Declaration, which prioritizes urgent, wide-ranging action on health challenges related to climate change, environmental pollution, biodiversity loss and land degradation. To strengthen countries’ capacities to fulfill commitments made under the Declaration, it also focuses on strengthening governance, investing in human resources, and advancing knowledge and tools for action.
One year since its adoption, we explore some national examples of how the Declaration is driving forward the environment and health agenda in the European Region, and the transitions needed to bring about sustainable communities.
