健康环境和气候变化
良好的身体健康不仅仅取决于医疗护理。医疗护理和生物学之外的环境和社会因素会极大地影响我们的健康和福祉。温哥华沿岸卫生局公共卫生部力求通过减少这些因素（称为健康决定因素）对社区健康的影响程度来预防疾病。
Who we are
The Healthy Environments & Climate Change (HECC) Team works on topics related to our built and natural environments as well as climate change and its impacts on our health. The team is comprised of Medical Health Officers, climate change and health leads, environmental health scientists, community planners, Environmental Health Officers and others.
How we work to improve the health of our communities
The HECC team focuses its work on the physical and environmental determinants of health. These topics fall within the core public health functions of health promotion, healthy public policy, health protection, emergency preparedness and response, and disease and injury prevention. The types of health hazards addressed includes: physical (e.g. built environment), chemical (e.g. air quality), biological (e.g. drinking water contamination), and climate-related (e.g. wildfire smoke) hazards.
We work closely with municipal, provincial, and federal partners, as well as local not-for profit organizations and academia on a range of topics.
Equity is a critical lens that informs all of this work. We aim to reduce health inequities, and prioritize action to support individuals and populations experiencing inequitable determinants of health.
