Global Environmental Health and Sustainable Development Innovation Collaborative Webinar series
Organized by the Institute of Medicine (IOM) with the support of the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) and the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS)
The Global Environmental Health and Sustainable Development Innovation Collaborative will host a 3-part webinar series, under the coordination of the Roundtable on Environmental Health Sciences, Research, and Medicine (EHSRM Roundtable). The webinars will focus on the United Nations post-2015 development agenda process—a process that will advance a new development agenda for the world as the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) reach the target date of 2015. The aim of the webinar series is to engage members of academia, government organizations, professional societies, and students at schools of public health in dialogue around health, economic development, equity, sustainability, and environmental challenges and to stimulate fresh thinking on possible solutions.
