Abstract: 
The evolving trend at which the wellbeing of the human population at the world level is being studied, researched and practiced seems to be of double edged sword. Since one way to score global health and environmental sustainability is through measuring the prevalence of various global diseases in the world and their threat to decrease life expectancy in the present day as well as availability of natural resources. There is there fore need to re-evaluate the current trends, as well as proffer lasting solutions. To make a land mark success on present needs without compromising on future generation needs, there should be evolutionary and swift transformation in health for all programs, imbibing green choice life / eco-friendly production and consumption, urban farming. Thus, global health and environmental sustainability should be summed up as the study and application of attaining welfare equity for all people in a sustainable environment.
