City Solutions Toolkit: Inter-agency collaboration for health impacts assessment

This module highlights inter-agency collaboration especially in conducting an HIA. The ability to link health and environmental data to understand relationships between levels of exposure and health outcomes is vital in managing the impacts of poor air quality on health. With this document, AQM practitioners and relevant stakeholders would learn the advantages of collaboration in conducting an HIA. Processes and examples of inter-agency interactions towards HIA development are presented, together with a summary of challenges and suggested solutions that can guide AQM decision makers and their teams in preparing for a successful interagency collaboration for HIA.
