• Climate change and health• Water and sanitation• Out- and indoor air quality• Prevention of diseases arising from chemical,
biological and physical environment• Addressing obesity and injuries through safe
environment, physical activity and healthy diet• Environment and health information system

Health Sector in the ECIS Region
• Accounts for 7.5 % of GDP• Technology intensive with significant
consumption of resources, associated with environmental pollution and degradation
• Accounts for an estimated 4.2 % of greenhouse gases (GHG) in the ECIS region
• Up to 25 % of these GHG can be reduced within short-term, more through long-term measures
• Reductions have also direct positive impact on life-years saved

UNDP & UN Sustainable Procurement

4.0 Procedures
UNDP’s “green” procurement policy promotes the four “R” strategies:
• re-think the requirements to reduce environmental impact; • reduce material consumption; • recycle materials/waste; and • reduce energy consumption.

Public procurement47. Sustainable public procurement was supported as a first critical step to further the green economy at the national as well as the sub-national level. Concrete progress was proposed in the form of sustainable public procurement targets that could be met by an increasing number of countries over the years.

• What is our monitoring framework?
• What are our targets?

(6) The pollution of waters and soils with pharmaceutical residues is an emerging environmental problem. Member States should consider measures to monitor and evaluate the risk of environmental effects of such medicinal products, including those which may have an impact on public health. The Commission should, based, inter alia, on data received from the European Medicines Agency, the European Environment Agency and Member States, produce a report on the scale of the problem, along with an assessment on whether amendments to Union legislation on medicinal products or other relevant Union legislation are required.

Lessons Learnt (1)
• Use existing dynamics, drivers and partnerships to move the agenda
• Direct engagement with manufacturers, suppliers and forwarders shows results
• Use joint market power and convening role to optimize impact
• Build on commitments made by funders and policy makers and convince through progress in practice; goal: to green US $ 27 billion annual development aid for health (DAH 2011)
Lessons Learnt (2)
• Put more emphasis on result-focused approach; provide monitoring tool, agree on milestones and targets
• Technical problems and lack of standards are to be solved as critical milestones, and not be an excuse for lack of action
• ‘Think big’ since we are dealing with one of the biggest global threats

From the Afterword by Helen Clark in "Partnerships for Global Health: Pathways to Progress" - 2012 Cambridge International Development Report, launched on 22 October 2012
“For UNDP, the message is clear: when the environment is harmed, so too is the potential to lift human development.”
“Discourse around global health needs to address the linkages between equity, sustainability and health outcomes explicitly.”
