This webinar was a part of Global Network of Health in All Policies (GNHiAP) activities. GNHiAP is a country-led initiative with a mission to work with various stakeholders to address the determinants of health by strengthening the Health in All Policies (HiAP) approach. The webinar was organised by Tampere University, Finland, in collaboration with the GNHiAP and with the support of the World Health Organization.

Health in All Policies approach concerns public policies and how policies in other sectors influence health and wellbeing and social determinants of health. The purpose of this webinar was to address especially economic and social inequalities-related factors in Nordic countries and Scotland, in times of COVID-19. Our aim was to gather experts to address the challenges COVID-19 has brought up regarding health, social protection and the economy.
