Chinese Academy of Social Sciences Training on Environment and Health_March 2014

On March 2-13, 2014, a delegation of 42 participants selected by the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences (CASS) will be in Italy to attend a course focused on "Environment and Health"

This important topic opens the 2014 training year at VIU and the choice of CASS to dedicate an entire training to the connection between the environment and health is a recognition of how the impacts of pollution on human well-being are felt more and more as an obstacle to a sustainable development.

The course agenda will explore the most common means through which we come in contact with our daily environment, such as air, water, soil and food, and analyze the main challenges in offering a healthy environment to our communities. The experiences of Italy and Europe in developing new policies and tools for health protection will be discussed and some visit will be organized as case studies.

Further details can be found in the training course agenda at the Sustainable Development Community website.
