Webinar Material- Health in All Policies: An Approach for a Healthy Future
📆 Friday, November 29th,2024
⏰ 2:00 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. Central European Time
Governments and societies face complex social, political, economic, and environmental crises that affect health and sustainable development. Approaches to address these challenges call for united and cross-sector approaches. The Health in All Policies approach (HiAP) seeks to integrate health and equity considerations across every level of government, fostering a shared responsibility for population health and a coordinated approach to addressing the environmental and social determinants of health.
This webinar was a unique opportunity to learn about HiAP and its core pillars, hear about real-world examples, explore its growing relevance in Europe and how we can tackle these crises in a unified and inclusive way, one which contributes to sustainable development.
The session was jointly organized by the Global Network for Health in All Policies (GNHiAP) and the European Public Health Association (EUPHA), as part of a strategic initiative leading up to the 2025 European Public Health Conference and encourage the adoption of HiAP across the European region.
