The Compendium is a comprehensive collection of available WHO and other United Nations (UN) guidance for improving health by creating healthier environments.

It covers a broad range of areas such as air pollution, water, sanitation and hygiene, climate change, chemicals, radiation, or food systems. Guidance is classified according to principal sectors involved, level of implementation (national, community, health care), and the type of instrument (taxes, infrastructure etc.).
