Short description

The Association of Doctors for Environmental Protection (AefU) was founded out of concern for an increasingly unhealthy environment that threatens our health and jeopardises the lives of future generations. The members of the AefU are predominantly doctors, dentists and veterinarians. Students of these professions also belong to the association. Members of other professions support the association's goals as patron members.

The association was founded in 1987 and is organised into AefU sections and AefU regional groups. National issues are dealt with by the AefU Central Board and working groups. The association is a collective member of the International Society of Doctors for the Environment (ISDE).
