title: The future of environment and health: a global perspective.
abstract: The future of occupational and environmental health will depend largely on involving all groups in society, thinking globally and acting locally, and developing the popular and political will to support it. It is necessary for professionals in the field to better understand important economic, technologic, sociocultural, and other trends, and to focus their energies on listening to those being served and assessing their needs, as well as educating, advocating, and building partnerships to address these needs. Values, visions, and leadership can have an extraordinary impact on the future of the environment and health.
