Abstract

Since 1949 , the linkage of environment and health in China has been mainly reflected in the is-sues, knowledge, policy and laws, organizations and the interactions between domestic and external factors, featuring the increasing expansion and complexity. The weak and inefficient environment and health governance institutions and the poor environment and health problems coping ability are the two major challenges that face the current environ-ment and health governance in China.
