The importance of Cause of Death data and statistics cannot be stressed enough. It constitutes essential information for public health policy. In that context, it was a real pleasure to present with esteemed colleagues Carine Alsokhn and Wendy L. on the process of documenting, processing, analyzing and presenting cause of death information to the Dutch Caribbean Public Health Network. The tools that #WHO makes available to member states as an end-to-end solution are simply brilliant. #ICD #MCCD #DORIS #ANACoD https://icd.who.int/doris https://icd.who.int/anacod https://icd.who.int/browse

With the release of the most recent Unified Agenda on July 5, we take a look at a few regulations that stakeholders in the health care industry should take note of.

‘New legislation means the state of nature and the environment is something that many companies are going to have to start taking a lot more seriously. The important role the private sector plays in helping to support nature conservation and restoration cannot be underestimated. Ordnance Survey is currently using a 15 square kilometer site at Thorne and Hatfield Moors in South Yorkshire as a test case to develop a new system that can support companies’ carbon offsetting activities. It will do so using a detailed peat map of the site to act as a baseline for the long-term monitoring of peatland health. This baseline has been developed for Natural England, the government body that owns the Moors, using geospatial, aerial, satellite-based Earth observation, field and OS’s mapping data. The data includes information on different types of vegetation and their health as well as local water table levels. It will be used to analyse and monitor the Moor site’s condition and produce a detailed carbon model using OS VeriEarth monitoring and verification.’ #carbonoffsetting #geospatial #arielimagery #earthobservation #natureconservation #restoration #environmental
