This document is the product of a multidisciplinary and multi-institutional working group called “Environment and Health Synergies”, set up within the National Environment and Health Task Force of the Italian Ministry of Health, with the aim of identifying organizational and operational priorities to promote/realize synergies between the two sectors Environment and Health and to suggest integrated institutional programs and strategies. This document provides indications to facilitate efficient systematic collaboration between operators of the two sectors by promoting the creation of an integrated environmental and public health surveillance network according to new prevention models based on integrated approaches such as the One Health model, anticipating issues contained in the National Prevention Plan 2020-2025. Its main objective is to pave the way to achieve a governance that allows the integration of institutions, disciplines, legislation, skills, opportunities/excellence, availability, to cope with the complexity of environmental health problems and their no longer postponable integration with equity and sustainability.
Key words: Health; Environment; Surveillance; Prevention; Equity; Sustainability; Governance
