Every year, avoidable environmental risks account for at least 1.4 million deaths in the WHO European Region. These include air pollution, inadequate water and sanitation services, hazardous chemicals, poor waste disposal and climate change. More than 350 resources on environment and health have now been gathered through the European Environment and Health Process to aid the strengthening of national efforts to address the leading environmental determinants of ill health.

The landscape of data and digital health varies across 53 countries in the WHO European Region. A new WHO report and dataset detail how the Member States are reshaping their health-care systems through the integration of digital health, including telehealth, mobile health, Big Data, and other interventions.
