In order to assess the contribution of eco-environments to global health policy, we conducted a content analysis of 2280 international eco-environments. For each of these contracts, we measure the nature and number of health-related provisions contained in these treaties. The result is the Interplayer Health and Environment Database (HEIDI), which we are publishing with the publication of this article. This new database shows that more than 300 environmental agreements contain health-related provisions. HEIDI`s fourteen healthcare categories can be divided into three groups. First of all, we looked at the provisions relating to the general principles or objectives of the Treaty. The second group includes provisions on institutional issues, which focus in particular on how the treaty concerned relates to global health institutions. A detailed table has been drawn up listing the international environmental agreements to which the Union is already a party or signatory. This article finds that other areas of global governance can make a positive contribution to global health. In particular, the global environmental regime includes more than 300 contracts for health-related provisions. This contribution is particularly important considering that the health scheme itself covers very few contracts.
In addition, other environmental agreements that do not explicitly refer to health could indirectly contribute to public health policy by reducing pollution and creating a healthier environment. . . .
