Elsevier, a global leader in research publishing and information analytics, has launched a free access special issue of curated content focused on environmental issues in recognition of the WHO’s World Health Day.
Consisting of specially curated journal articles and book chapters supporting the United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), this free resource is intended to further new research and raise awareness around good health and well-being, gender equality, and living sustainably, and diversity and inclusion.
The public can access the special issue by visiting the RELX SDG Resource Centre. In addition to the content collection, Dr. Márcia Balisciano, RELX’s Global Head of Corporate Responsibility, interviews Dr. Rebecca Katz, Professor, and Director of the Center for Global Health Science and Security at Georgetown University, Washington, DC, USA. Prof. Katz teaches courses on global health diplomacy, global health security, and emerging infectious diseases in the Science, Technology and International Affairs, Security Studies, and Global Infectious Disease Programs. She has authored and edited several books, including Inoculating Cities: Case Studies in Urban Pandemic Preparedness.
The inaugural World Health Day was launched in 1948, by the First World Health Assembly to mark the founding of the United Nation’s World Health Organization (WHO). Since 1950, World Health Day has been celebrated and used to highlight a specific area of public health concern in the world. This year’s theme is “Our Planet, Our Health: Clean our air, water and food.” In the midst of a pandemic, a polluted planet, and increasing diseases like cancer, asthma, and heart disease, WHO will focus global attention this year on urgent actions needed to keep humans and the planet healthy, and foster a movement to create societies focused on well-being and a #HealthierTomorrow.
Elsevier’s Global Content Partners, along with its Scientific, Technical, and Medical Journals group, are publishing curated content, covering a range of topics, including ecosystem restoration, climate change, sustainable development and consumption, and marine pollution.
