First Ministerial Conference on Environment and Health, Frankfurt-am-Main, 1989
This was the first time that ministers of health and of environment met in a common forum. The major policy outcome was the European Charter on Environment and Health, in which ministers:
- agreed on the basic principles, mechanisms and priorities for environment and health programmes;
- established the WHO European Centre for Environment and Health; and
- agreed to hold a follow-up conference in five years.
