The main objective of GNC: is to create a platform within ERA to start a dialogue and foster interaction among different stakeholders related to the subject of environment and health/disease.
Create awareness: Awareness on the topic is another task of the Committee: this can be done by producing position statements, making scientific presentations and organising meetings.
Education: Education is essential and we aim to make medical environmental impact mandatory in the medical curriculum (and in every health professions), thus the knowledge regarding the environmental consequences of the services they offer.
