Every year on September 26, World Environmental Health Day is celebrated to highlight the intricate relationship between humans and their environment. This annual observance emphasizes the profound impact of our surroundings on our well-being and aims to promote healthier and safer communities worldwide.
Environmental Health is a critical branch of public health that focuses on examining and enhancing the connection between human beings and their environment. It encompasses various facets of our daily lives, including our living spaces, food, surroundings, and the air we breathe.
The theme for this year’s World Environmental Health Day is “Global Environmental Public Health: Standing up to protect everyone’s Health each and every day” underscores the collective responsibility to safeguard the health of every individual by addressing global environmental challenges consistently.
The Role of the International Federation of Environmental Health (IFEH)

In 2011, IFEH established World Environmental Health Day, designating September 26 as a day to raise awareness about environmental health concerns.
