Globally, the Environmental Health Sciences are now recognized as a critical component for assessing and protecting human, animal and ecological health. Practitioners, educators, and scientists from many countries spanning at least five continents will gather in Montego Bay for an academic meeting of IFEH and the Global Environmental Health Faculty Forum. The event is hosted by the Jamaica Association of Public Health Inspectors (JAPHI) and the Americas group of the International Federation of Environmental Health (IFEH).

Our primary goal is to exchange knowledge and data to further enhance understanding of the role of the environmental health discipline in One Health issues globally. In addition, the conference aims to allow tremendous networking opportunities between EH practitioners with researchers, students, clinicians, educators, policy leaders, and industry partners.

The conference intends to use discussions and presentations about new surveillance techniques, diagnostics, disease prevention strategies, policies, academic curriculum design, and much more to foster networking and One Health capacity building within the environmental health community.
