Concern about public health implications of environmental conditions in countries in the European region reached high political levels, demonstrated by European ministers of health and of environment protection at their second European Conference on Environment and Health, Helsinki, 20-22 June 1994. The report "Concern for Europe's Tomorrow", prepared by the WHO European Centre for Environment and Health was a basis for endorsing by the Conference an Environmental Health Action Plan for Europe and adopting a Declaration by which the ministers committed their governments to developing National Environmental Action Plans by the year 1997. Interactions between health and environment, integrated with policies and programmes for sustainable development, provide a unifying framework for a new public health.
对欧洲区域各国环境状况所产生的公共卫生影响的关注达到了很高的政治层面，1994年6月20 - 22日在赫尔辛基举行的第二届欧洲环境与健康会议上，欧洲卫生部长和环境保护部长们的表现就证明了这一点。世界卫生组织欧洲环境与健康中心编写的《关注欧洲的明天》报告，是该会议批准欧洲环境卫生行动计划并通过一项宣言的基础，部长们在宣言中承诺其政府在1997年前制定国家环境行动计划。健康与环境之间的相互作用，与可持续发展的政策和方案相结合，为新的公共卫生提供了一个统一的框架。
