The Department of Health of the Basque Government is being supported by NAIDER in the design and development of the Basque Health and Environment Observatory. The Observatory, whose creation is a common objective of the Health and Environment Management Sectors, will allow a better understanding of the environmental impact on health and will facilitate decision-making and the implementation of effective policies to improve the quality of life of the population of the Basque Country.
The need to create a Basque Health and Environment Observatory stems from two strategic reference instruments of the Basque Autonomous Community in the field of health and environment policies: the Basque Health Plan 2030 and the Environmental Framework Programme 2030. The Euskadi 2030 Health Plan is the roadmap that defines the health policies to be developed in the coming years, with the aim of achieving a healthier Euskadi. The Environmental Framework Programme also defines the direction of the Basque Country’s environmental policies until the end of the decade, with the aim of becoming a more sustainable territory by 2030.
