Opportunity to join a workshop on the health values of natural environments for decision-making
Hosted by the University of Exeter and Defra, this prioritisation workshop will be held on 26th October from 10:30 to 5pm at Defra, Nobel House, Westminster, London.
The aim of the workshop is to collaboratively identify, discuss and prioritise effective strategies and opportunities to embed health values of natural environments in future decision making with particular reference to health inequalities. The result of the workshop will be used to develop a set of prioritised proposals to be presented to Defra.
Whilst there is cross-departmental and -sectorial recognition of the value of natural environments in promoting and sustaining good health and wellbeing there is clearly still scope to build on existing policy and practice to realise the potential. The meeting represents an important opportunity to potentially inform thinking and activity as the government considers a 25-year plan for the environment. The workshop will bring together a core group of key health and environment professionals from across the system (policy, practice and research) to represent the range of perspectives, experiences and contextual needs.
