1.8: Environment
Develop a strong and comprehensive policy and program response on the public health impacts stemming from the environment Other Information:
While placing a priority on addressing the needs of certain populations, the Agency also recognizes that the impact of the
environment is a key health issue and priority of governments and Canadians. PHAC will develop a strong and comprehensive
policy and program response on the public health impacts stemming from the environment (e.g., infectious disease risks associated
with climate change, food contaminant/zoonosis risks, chronic disease and environmental hazards, etc.). We will enhance our
partnerships with Health Canada, Environment Canada, Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada and non-governmental partners to allow
a strong public health contribution to the broader environment agenda.
