Health, well-being and sustainability are closely interconnected: according to the Sustainable Development Goal no. 3 of the United Nations "Ensuring health and well-being for all at all ages" it is essential to protect our planet to ensure global prosperity, promoting healthy life and socio-economic development based on the sustainable use of environmental resources.
The Istituto Superiore di Sanità (ISS, the National Institute of Health in Italy) is committed to achieving the goal for 2030 of reducing a third of premature mortality from environmental causes, through studies and research on environmental risk factors for primary prevention, in a perspective of environmental sustainability and circular economy.
