Health for all by the year 2000 is the blueprint for change agreed
to by the Member States of the World Health Organization. In
Europe, this blueprint is built on 38 regional targets, many of
which have the underlying aim of uncovering new knowledge and of
using existing knowledge more effectively. The targets related to a
healthy environment have the ultimate goals of safeguarding human
health against environmental hazards, and of enhancing the quality
of life by providing clean and safe water, air, food, and working
and living conditions. Allied to these goals is the need to reduce
the sense of jeopardy that many people feel about what they
perceive as 'the risks of everyday life'. These goals are an
integral part of the European Charter on Environment and Health,
adopted by 29 European Member States and the Commission of the
European Communities in December 1989. The Charter stresses the
shared responsibility of everyone to protect the environment, to be
given adequate and accurate information, and to be involved in
decision-making. It outUnes the principles for public policy as
well as what needs to be done to transform them into action. In
this, strong information systems have a vital role to play by
helping to monitor the effectiveness of measures taken, of trends
analysed, of priorities set and of decisions made.
