Up to 26% of all loss of life in children below the age of 5 years could be avoided
by removing environmental risks (WHO 2016a) and following are the key findings
of the report.
• Environmental risks are responsible for a big portion of the burden of global
disease.
• Sustainable development goals (SDGs) are very much interlinked with environmental as well as social determinants of health.
• About two-thirds of all deaths linked to the environment are noncommunicable
diseases.
• Environmental strategies over and over again benefit multiple sicknesses.
• Interference to enhance the environment can very much contribute to targets sustainable development goal.
• Older adults and children below 5 years are impacted by the environment to great
extent.
• Greatest burden of environmental disease occurs at low- and middle-income
countries.
• Impacts of the environment on public health vary across different social group.
6.2 Human and Environmental Conflict
Progressive interactions with fragmented environments and combining the impact
of natural disasters (Daszak et al. 2000) have resulted in an era of sickness emergence and re-emergence (Alison et al. 2016). Airline travel of more than eight million persons per day has supported sickness outbreaks beyond their regions of origin
(Morens and Fauci 2013).
Ecosystem provides a series of services that include the following:
• Stabilizing and regulatory processes
– Control pest species
