Population health and environment issues in the Philippines. A profile of Calabarzon (Region 4-A).

Linking population health and environment (PHE) issues is becoming increasingly important for the Philippines where natural resources and public health and well-being are often negatively affected by factors such as population pressures and poverty. Understanding these connections--including the economic and social context in which they occur--and addressing PHE issues in an integrated manner is critical for achieving sustainable development. This regional PHE profile highlights key population health and environment indicators and important development challenges for the Calabarzon Region (Region 4-A). The profile is designed to help educators policymakers and community leaders identify key threats to sustainable development and explore possible approaches to addressing them. This profile is part of a series covering select regions of the Philippines and is intended as a companion publication to the Population Reference Bureaus 2006 data sheet Making the Link in the Philippines: Population Health and the Environment.
