Pollution Management and Environmental Health Program

Over the last several years, stakeholders across low and middle income countries have expressed an urgent need for increased support on pollution management in order to respond to the magnitude of the threat to human health and economies. Responding to pollution is a challenge that is solvable in the near term to save lives and unlock economic opportunity through action at the local, national, regional and global levels.

The World Bank established a Pollution Management and Environmental Health (PMEH) program to respond to this demand from clients and stakeholders. PMEH is part of the World Bank’s brown business line (pollution management and environmental health) within the Environment and Natural Resources Global Practice.
