Global Plan of Action for Children's Health and the Environment
The call for action to address children’s environmental health at the Third WHO International Conference on Children's Health and the Environment in Busan, Republic of Korea (June 2009) asked WHO to facilitate the development of a global plan of action to improve children's environmental health and regularly monitor and report on its progress. This draft Global Plan of Action is designed to provide a road map for WHO, governments, intergovernmental and non-governmental organizations, and all concerned stakeholders to contribute to the attainment of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) and other internationally agreed development declarations, commitments and goals, in particular those related to reducing infant mortality (MDG 4) and ensuring environmental sustainability (MDG 7).
