Even after two years, the COVID-19 pandemic still disrupts public activities and services as it exposes
vulnerabilities among the population and negatively impacts environmental conditions. The crisis also impeded
global progress toward achieving Sustainable Development Goals (SDG). The Fourth Environmental and
Occupational Health (EOH) Forum held virtually on November 25 to 26, 2021 provided a venue for learning
about local and international COVID-19 responses to help prepare for the next global crisis. Through the systems
thinking approach, the discussions prioritized analyses of leadership and governance, financing, human
resource, technologies, information management, and service delivery. These analyses focused on community
and/or workplace programs and services linked to air quality, waste management, psychosocial wellness, and
COVID-19 vaccination. The forum amplified calls for climate actions and public health improvement and
emphasized the significance of a collaborative, evidence-based, integrated public health response to a crisis
underscoring the apparent interdependence of the SDGs.
