Health and Environment in Sustainable Development: The Interaction and Investigation of Policy ‘Health for All’ by 2000AD in the District of Burdwan

Dr Srabani Bose

Abstract :

The desire for healthy environment and sustainable development is a global aspiration that has acquired a new momentum following the historic United Nations Conference on Environment and Development (UNCED), held in Rio de Janeiro on 1992. People’s awareness of the detriments inflicted on the environment by various development processes is today precise and more profound than at any other time in global history. Yet, actions to address these issues lag far behind this upsurge in awareness. All these conditions pose unimaginable risk to human health. Growing population combined with insufficient health facilities create major challenges with respect to the attainment of sustainable development in the district of Burdwan.
