World Health Day - APRIL 7 -
World Health Day on April 7 marks the 60th anniversary of the World Health Organization, and is an opportunity to draw worldwide attention to a subject of major importance to global health. This year, World Health Day focuses on the need to protect human health from the adverse effects of climate change.
Science has shown us that the quality of our environment and our health outcomes are closely linked.
This Government understands that, as a northern country, Canada is particularly vulnerable to a changing climate. That is why we have invested $85.9 million in our new Adaptation on Climate Change strategy. Under the strategy, we will implement several new initiatives that will complement our Turning the Corner Action Plan.
