Countries enabled to address environmental determinants, including climate change The Secretariat will support countries to:
develop and implement national policy instruments, for example, for healthy, safe and resilient workplaces;
ensure that health care facilities are resilient to climate change, have basic and sustainable energy and water, sanitation and hygiene services, safely manage their waste and protect their workforce;
take transformative action on climate change and health, including developing climate-resilient and low-carbon sustainable health systems;
provide guidance and tools for the implementation of WHO guidelines on air quality, for example, the Clean household energy solutions toolkit (CHEST) and AirQ+ software tool for health risk assessment of air pollution.
develop risk-based approaches to support safe delivery and regulation of water, sanitation and hygiene services, using water and sanitation safety plans and associated surveillance;
expand coverage of occupational health services in the context of universal health coverage;
use various United Nations channels to scale up environment, climate change and health action in countries; to systematically apply dedicated tools, implement WHO guidelines and processes; and to support fund raising activities for implementation;
prepare for and respond to health risks from technological hazards (including chemical and radio-nuclear events and strengthening poison centres) in line with the International Health Regulations (2005);
respond to emergencies on chemical and radiation threats, and provide support on water, sanitation and hygiene services in emergencies, such as during armed conflict or threat to industrial sites.

In producing technical products on norms/standard, data and research, the Secretariat will:
elaborate guidance on safe and healthy environments, contamination and pollution, related service provision and workers? protection, for example, on the safe management of drinking water, on climate-resilient and sustainable health systems and facilities, and on the provision of occupational health services linked to primary health care;
develop a suite of tools and a process to facilitate systematic scaling up of environment, climate change and health action in countries;
establish the state of the science of emerging international issues of concern, for example, on endocrine disrupting chemicals, climate change and health, and highly hazardous pesticides;
develop research agendas on health risks from rapidly evolving environments and technologies, for example, on non-ionizing radiation;
develop training materials to strengthen health and other sectors? capacity to address environmental determinants of health, for example, a training package on children?s environmental health and air pollution for health professionals;
report global progress on environment and health through regular periodic reports, such as the WHO country survey on climate change and health, the WHO/UNICEF Joint Monitoring Programme for Water Supply, Sanitation and Hygiene and the WHO-led UN-Water Global Analysis and Assessment of Sanitation and Drinking Water reporting on WASH Sustainable Development Goals targets/indicators 3.9.2, 6.1, 6.2, 6.3, 6a and 6b, as well as those on air pollution;
develop training materials on water, sanitation and hygiene, including on developing WASH accounts, WASH in health care facilities, developing monitoring capacities including on national burden-of-disease estimates; and 
develop guidance and training materials on key aspects of the health response to climate change, including climate-informed health warning systems, and on the health co-benefits of climate change mitigation. Healthy environments to promote health and sustainable societies
