A project on the economic valuation of environment-related health impacts for children was initiated. A workshop was held in 2003 (see synthesis report and proceedings). Based upon the findings from this workshop, the second phase of the project was launched in January 2006.
Another project on co-ordination between environmental and health policies compares the means by which environment health impacts are assessed and will contribute to improved policy coordination.

These questions have aroused increasing interest in recent years, particularly since the adoption of Agenda 21 at the UN Conference on Environment and Development, which drew the attention of policy makers to the links between health and the environment.
