Item Advancing environmental public health in Latin America and the Caribbean(2021)[ABSTRACT]. This paper highlights the important leadership role of the public health sector, working with other governmental sectors and nongovernmental entities, to advance environmental public health in Latin America and the Carib-bean toward the achievement of 2030 Sustainable Development Goal 3: Health and Well-Being. The most pressing current and future environmental public health threats are discussed, followed by a brief review of major historical and current international and regional efforts to address these concerns. The paper concludes with a discussion of three major components of a regional environmental public health agenda that responsible parties can undertake to make significant progress toward ensuring the health and well-being of all people throughout Latin America and the Caribbean.Item Americas in Harmony: Health and Environment in the Sustainable Human Development; an opportunity for change and a call for action(1996)This report has been prepared based upon the discussions, opinions, and suggestions that resulted from the Pan American Conference on Health and Environment in Sustainable Human Development, October 1-3, 1995Item Health and other impacts of community food production in Small Island Developing States: a systematic scoping review(2018)[ABSTRACT]. Objective. To explore what is known on community-based food production initiatives (CFPIs) in Small Island Developing States, particularly the health, social, economic, and environmental impacts of and on CFPIs. Methods. This was a systematic scoping review using 14 electronic databases to identify articles published from 1997 to 2016 on the topic of CFPIs in Small Island Developing States. From 8 215 articles found, 153 were eligible and abstracted. Analysis focused on geographic location, typology, methodology, study design, theoretical frameworks, and impacts. Results. Most research was conducted in the Pacific or Caribbean (49% and 43% of studies, respectively) and primarily focused on fishing and crop farming (40%, 34%). Findings indicate a predominance of research focusing on the environmental impact of marine and coastal resources on CFPIs, and very limited evidence of CFPI impact on human health, particularly nutrition and diet-related outcomes. There was a lack of explicit theoretical frameworks to explain the impacts of CFPIs. Conclusions. Evidence of impacts of CPFIs in Small Island Developing States is limited and the approaches taken are inconsistent. This review demonstrates the need and provides a basis for developing a coherent body of methods to examine the impacts of CFPIs and provide evidence to guide policy, especially as it relates to health.Item Proposal for a Pan American Conference on Health, Environment, and development(Washington, D.C; Pan American Health Organization, 1993)Item Progress Report on the Organization of the Pan American Conference on Health and the Environment in Sustainable Human Development(Washington, D.C; Pan American Health Organization, 1995)
