1. What are the strategies for the two components of the environmental
dimension?
Components
a. Healthy habitat.
b. Health situations related to environmental conditions.

a. Healthy habitat: Set of public policies, strategies and intersectoral and

interdisciplinary actions, aimed at improving the quality of life and
health of the population, positively affecting the environmental and
sanitary determinants of health, in the environments where people are
born, grow up, live , they work and grow old; where the community is
co-responsible in the generation and contribution of its own individual
and collective well-being.

Component strategies
a. Inter-institutional coordination to incorporate environmental health
in the formulation of policies, plans and programs of the different
sectors, seeking policy coherence at all levels, improving efficiency,
reducing unnecessary overlaps and duplications, and improving
coordination and cooperation between the actors involved.
b. Alliances between the public and private sectors to promote
corporate social co-responsibility, and the active participation of all
members of civil society in the protection of human health, the
improvement of quality of life conditions and sustainable development.
c. Primary Care in Environmental Health APSA: seeks to define the
participation and joint intervention of the territorial levels with
competencies in environmental health, in the implementation of PHC,
positioning intersectoral management and social participation in the
intervention of health and environmental determinants, in order to the
fulfillment of the objectives and goals of the dimension.
d. Responsible consumption: social and community promotion related
to consumption habits that reduce the impact on the environment, in
order to promote human health and preserve ecosystems that provide
environmental goods and services to populations, in accordance with
the production policy and sustainable consumption.
e. Environmental Health Education: includes the dynamic processes
of social participation developed jointly between State agencies and
civil society, aimed at informing, educating and communicating, with
the aim of promoting behavioral changes, lifestyles and consumption
habits.
f. Healthy Environments Strategy: seeks to contribute to human
security, sustainable human development and equity in health,
through actions that influence the determinants of health under
participatory operational schemes organized around specific
environments.
g. Strengthening of governance in national and international
environmental health, as a basis for the positive impact of structural
determinants, recognizing social participation and intersectorality as
axes.
h. Development of sustainable transport systems and safe mobility;
among them, multimodal transport systems, which are efficient from
the energy point of view; in particular public transport systems, clean
fuels and vehicles, as well as improved transport systems in rural
areas.
i. Integral Management of Water Resources in an intersectoral manner
and with community participation, seeking the protection of basins, the
purification of water and the minimization of generation of domestic
 and industrial effluents, articulating national policies.
j. Comprehensive management of solid waste in homes, companies
and community spaces, promoting healthy environments, by
maximizing the use of solid waste that can be reincorporated into
production chains.

b. Situations in health related to environmental conditions: Sectoral

and intersectoral actions of the national and territorial order, which
allow influencing those situations of interest in public health, through
the positive intervention of the factors, risks and damages of a social,
health and environmental nature, which allow modifying the
environmental burden of the disease.

Component strategies
a. Primary Care in Environmental Health APSA: seeks to define the
participation and joint intervention of the territorial levels with
competences in environmental health.
b. Environmental Health Education: includes the dynamic processes of
social participation developed jointly between State agencies and civil
society, aimed at informing, educating and communicating, with the aim
of promoting behavioral changes, lifestyles and consumption habits.
c. Integrated management of zoonoses of interest in public health:
intersectoral, educational, and social and community participation
management, with the purpose of generating social co-responsibility in
the keeping of companion animals, production, and protection of wildlife
ecosystems; as well as strengthening the prevention, timely detection
and control of zoonotic diseases.
d. Research for environmental health: construction of knowledge
networks, based on lines of action in science, technology and innovation,
made up of the public, private, academic and community sectors, aimed
at generating information and knowledge that allow responding to needs
 in environmental health.
e. Health Surveillance. Promotion of self-management and self-
regulation: the Social Determinants of Health approach requires a
paradigm shift in the conception of health surveillance.
f. Strengthening of public health surveillance and epidemiological
intelligence for the integrated analysis of information on the
environmental burden of the disease; includes surveillance and analysis
of morbidity and mortality, etiological agents, risk factors, entomology,
reservoirs, and wild populations.
g. National and international cooperation processes that allow
compliance with the goals and objectives established in the Ten-Year
Public Health Plan and other existing policies and plans.
h. National System of Inspection, Surveillance and Sanitary Control IVC,
which allows to advance surveillance in environmental health, as a
mechanism for strengthening the actions of the Comprehensive
environmental health policy.

What are the possible effects of the extraction of strategic natural

resources on the environment and the health of populations?

Natural resources are those that the planet offers without the need for
human intervention. They are essential for our subsistence, but if they are
consumed at a faster rate than their natural regeneration, as is the case
today, they could run out.

Environmental: The disappearance of the habitats necessary for

flora and fauna and, therefore, the extinction of species. There are
about 30 million different animal and plant species in the world and,
of all of them, the International Union for Conservation of Nature
(IUCN) indicates that, at present, more than 31,000 species are in
danger of extin.
 Economic: 33% of the planet's soils are moderately to highly degraded,
according to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations
(FAO). If the erosion of fertile soil continues at the same rate as before, the
prices of agricultural products will inevitably skyrocket.

For health: If we do not take care of the forests there will be fewer CO2
sinks Note and, therefore, more air pollution. According to the World Health
Organization (WHO), nine out of ten people worldwide breathe air with high
levels of pollutants and seven million people die each year from air pollution.

2. What are the three pillars of sustainable development? Tell me about

each one.
To achieve sustainability, it is essential to achieve a balance between what
we call The Three Pillars of Sustainable Development:

Environment: Sustainable development that is environmentally correct

aims to minimize as much as possible the environmental impacts caused by
 its production, that is, it only occurs when in fact there are effective actions
that balance its environmental impact. Small measures, such as avoiding
disposable cups and cutlery, for example, can be good starts but for there to
really be a positive impact your company needs to be focused on clear
environmental development goals, this will require testing new ways of
carrying out your business. activities processes and discover which of the
most results.

3. Definition of intrasectoral and intersectoral strategies

The concept of intersectorality is defined as the “coordinated intervention of

representative institutions of more than one social sector, in actions
destined, totally or partially, to treat problems related to health, well-being
and quality of life” (FLACSO, 2015 ).

“Intersectoral coordination is expressed in actions aimed at the gradual

involvement of different actors in the decision-making process, aiming at the
effective solution of problems, for which it is necessary to generate
adequate spaces to share leadership, resources, strategic lines,
opportunities and carry out joint planning ”(Ministerio de Salud Chile, 2014).
 Proposal

From our homes we can initiate actions to control excess waste. In the same way
that we are educated in habits such as washing hands before eating or after going
to the bathroom, it is also possible to learn to store waste separately, it is important
to instill in children rules aimed at forming habits and positive attitudes regarding
the solid waste they generate, so these standards will be part of their training and
will last for a lifetime.

 Reduce; the generation of waste by reducing the amounts we consume.

 Reuse; to the maximum the objects and materials in different uses, before
they become garbage.
 Recycle; the materials, such as paper, cardboard, glass, plastics, cans etc.,
turn them back into useful raw material to produce the same or other objects.

The proposal is about:

Raise awareness and support in raising awareness about environmental
problems. Following as a strategy, "The environmental training and education
plan to be executed in the communities of the micro-basins of study will be
developed within the framework of differentiated strategies, this training must
be applied in a practical, simple and clear way according to the social groups
get involved in the process. Methodological tools will be used such as
discussion, analysis, reflection and information workshops, such as the
exchange of experiences, and visits will be applied according to the different
environmental training and education topics. The methodology will be based
mostly on the exchange of experiences and knowledge in a participatory way,
through field trip
