time for a European perspective!

This workshop will look at how health inequalities and environmental inequalities are closely linked. Despite serious inequalities across Europe and within each country this issue has been ignored by the Ministerial event. It will highlight the role of NGO activity in working with communities in areas suffering from ‘environmental injustice’ and provide guidance for those NGOs who wish to use this as the base for future activity. It will consider:

• What are environmental and health inequalities and why do they matter (with case studies);
• How health inequalities are mapped and are used as the basis action;
• Environmental justice and environmental rights;
• Developing local activity;
• The possibility of a European perspective and effective networking;
• The role of ANPED and the European Environment and Health Network (EEHN).

The session will include break-out sessions where participants will work in small groups to identify their own priorities and concerns.
