A Novel Approach to Environmental Public Health that Uses Training, Education, and Capacity Building to Address Present and Upcoming Global Health Issues

Abstract

Significant risks to human health exist both locally and globally as a result of the unsustainable globalization of economic activity, lifestyles, and social structures. All of these issues such as pollution, climate change, and biodiversity loss represent difficulties that are unlikely to be resolved with the methods, resources, and techniques now in use. This article recognizes the need for qualified professionals from a variety of backgrounds to support environmental public health (EPH) initiatives, enhancing society's ability to react quickly and effectively to such complicated circumstances and numerous obstacles. It imagines a brand-new EPH practice that answers inquiries about: Why do this? What has to be done? Who is going to do it? How can it be put into practice? The primary difficult EPH problems in the globe are discussed in this article, along with potential solutions through the use of a conceptual training framework. A companion article offers insights and experiences on how they have been addressed in real-world situations.
