Charting the course of Health Impact Assessment (HIA) in the Asia Pacific post-COVID-19 - webinar

Charting the course of Health Impact Assessment (HIA) in the Asia Pacific post-COVID-19 - webinar

The WHO Collaborating Centre for Health Impact Assessment at Curtin University, in conjunction with the HIA Network Asia Pacific and the Asia-Pacific Centre for Environment and Health, WHO, WPRO, would like to invite you to a webinar on ‘Charting the course of Health Impact Assessment (HIA) in the Asia Pacific post-COVID-19’. COVID-19 has delivered a dramatic demonstration of the critical links between development and the health of the environment, the people and the economy.  As a consequence of the pandemic, we will see shifts in how public health challenges are viewed and managed for years to come.  Reflecting and responding to these shifts will be critical. This webinar will consider these issues in the context of the future of Health Impact Assessment (HIA) in the region. The webinar will be organised as a series of short presentations and an open forum.

Tuesday 22 September
