The WHO European Centre for Environment and Health, Bonn, Germany, in cooperation with the WHO Collaborating Centre on Natural Environments and Health at the University of Exeter, United Kingdom, will hold a Bonn School masterclass series this month.
This June, a special edition of the Bonn School on Environment and Health will take place virtually as a masterclass series, focusing on creating transformative public health leadership in the area of nature and health in the WHO European Region. The Bonn School addresses technical gaps and raises awareness on environmental and health challenges in countries, building capacity at national and local levels for safer and healthier communities.
The sessions will share the latest scientific evidence and knowledge on key topics in nature, biodiversity, health and well-being to support environment and health practitioners and policy-makers at the national level, ahead of this year’s United Nations Biodiversity Conference.
