The University of the West Indies in Kingston, Jamaica, recently invited Robert Dibie, IUK, to present the keynote speech for the institution’s annual occupational and environmental safety and health forum, held on October 17. In his address, “Integrating the State of the Environment and Public Policy: The Dynamics of Sustainable Development,” Dibie analyzed the world’s environmental movement in the past three decades. The movement has transformed several nations’ environment, especially improving air quality, according to Dibie. “Ambient concentrations of sulfur oxides, carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, and particulates—all associated with serious human health disorders—have been reduced significantly. “While the industrial nations have been able to enact pragmatic environmental policies most developing nations are still lagging behind in taking actions to protect their ecosystem and citizens’ health,” he added. “Global climate change, population growth, the spread of toxic and hazardous chemicals, loss of biological diversity, and air and water pollution all require diverse action by individuals and institutions at all levels of society.” Environmental policies based on “accurate information and its regular delivery” are essential to help nations achieve sustainable development and minimize the impact of environmental disasters, Dibie said.
