Environment Minister: Balanced environment is very important for human health


Minister of Environment, Forest and Climate Change Md Shahab Uddin highlighted the crucial role of a balanced environment in promoting human and animal health. 

The minister spoke during his inaugural speech at the 11th One Health Conference held at the Radisson Blu Hotel in the capital on Monday. The conference focused on the theme "One Health approach for tackling antimicrobial resistance and pandemics."

He emphasized that a healthy and balanced environment is a fundamental component of the One Health Triad, which encompasses the interconnectedness of human, animal, and environmental health. Without a well-maintained environment, it is impossible to enjoy ecological services, achieve sustainable economic growth, ensure biological security, and establish a stable and prosperous society.
