  • GAHP (Global Alliance on Health and Pollution) is a network of international and national level agencies committed to a collaborative, multi-sectoral approach to address the global pollution crisis and the resulting health and economic impacts. GAHP’s overall goal is to reduce death and illness caused by all forms of toxic pollution, including air, water, soil and chemical wastes especially in low and middle-income countries. GAHP is a collaborative body made up of more than 60 members and dozens of observers that advocates for resources and solutions to pollution problems. GAHP was formed because international and national level actors/ agencies recognize that a collaborative, multi-stakeholder, multi-sectoral approach is necessary and critical to deal with the global pollution crisis and resulting health and economic impacts. In 2012, Pure Earth initiated the alliance with representatives from the World Bank, UNEP, UNDP, UNIDO, Asian Development Bank, the European Commission, and Ministries of Environment and Health of many low and middle-income countries to formulate strategies to address pollution and health at scale. GAHP incorporated as a foundation in 2019 in Geneva, Switzerland. GAHP focuses its efforts in two main areas: advocacy and awareness raising and country-specific support. GAHP builds public, technical and financial support to address pollution globally by promoting scientific research, raising awareness and tracking progress. GAHP assists low- and middle-income countries to prioritize and address pollution and problems through Health and Pollution Action Plans. In October 2017, GAHP published the Lancet Commission on Pollution and Health in collaboration with The Lancet. The commission "addresses the full health and economic costs of air, water, and soil pollution. Through analyses of existing and emerging data, the Commission reveals pollution’s severe and underreported contribution to the Global Burden of Disease. It uncovers the economic costs of pollution to low-income and middle-income countries. The Commission will inform key decision makers around the world about the burden that pollution places on health and economic development, and about available cost-effective pollution control solutions and strategies." The report's findings were distributed widely through media outlets, reaching over 2 billion people and counting. The work of the Commission was also covered extensively through special partnerships with high-profile media organizations. In addition, GAHP updates findings from The Lancet Commission on Pollution and Health, and provides a ranking of pollution deaths on a global, regional and country level with Pollution and Health Metrics: Global, Regional and Country Analysis reports. Pollution remains the world’s largest environmental threat to human health, responsible in 2017 for 15% of all deaths globally, and 275 million Disability-Adjusted Life Years. The 2019 report, which uses the most recent Global Burden of Disease data from the Institute of Health Metrics Evaluation, underscores the extent and severity of harm caused by air, water, and occupational pollution.

  • Global Alliance on Health and Pollution (GAHP, « alliance mondiale sur la santé et la pollution ») est un organisme international de collaboration qui aide les pays à revenu faible ou intermédiaire à résoudre les problèmes de santé liés à l’environnement. Cette alliance s’est formée en 2012 par le regroupement de l’ONG Pure Earth, la Banque mondiale, le PNUE, le PNUD, l’ONUDI, la Banque asiatique du développement, la Commission Européenne et des ministères de l’environnement et de la santé de plusieurs pays à revenu faible ou intermédiaire. GAPH est constitué en fondation indépendante à but non-lucratif, avec siège dans le canton de Genève (Suisse), depuis mai 2019. GAHP travaille en collaboration avec les autorités locales pour nettoyer les zones toxiques présentant un risque sanitaire fort. Elle peut également intervenir en urgence, à l’instar de ce qui a été fait lors de l’épidémie de saturnisme au Nigeria ayant tué des centaines d'enfants. En se regroupant, les membres de GAHP offrent un accès à plusieurs lignes de support et ressources, comme un guichet unique pour les solutions de lutte contre la pollution. Le 19 octobre 2017, GAHP, en collaboration avec la revue The Lancet et la faculté de médecine Icahn du mont Sinaï, a créé la Commission Lancet « pollution et la santé » qui évalue la mortalité des maladies dues à la pollution à 9 millions de morts prématurées par an. L'objectif de la Commission est de diminuer la pollution de l'air, des sols et de l'eau en travaillant notamment sur les coûts économiques et sanitaires qu’implique la pollution à l'échelle mondiale, et en proposant des solutions efficientes.
