Building resilient communities together
We need to build preparedness to create sustainable and resilient communities that promote good and equitable health. Creating societies that ensure both good health and a healthy environment for current and future generations take individuals, organisations, government institutions, and partners all working together.
What does it take to foster preparedness and promote equitable health? How do we build healthier and more resilient communities that are better equipped to prevent, withstand and recover from emergencies?
Promoting health equity for all
The conditions for achieving good and equitable health vary significantly across different groups in the population, with some facing a higher risk of poor health.
Why do these disparities exist, and how have they changed over time? What can be done to address these differences, both in the social determinants of health and in health outcomes?
Making the case for prioritising and investing in health and wellbeing
With limited public resources, demonstrating the benefits of prioritising health is essential. How can we show that equitable health and wellbeing not only strengthens societal resilience but also provides a foundation for addressing broader economic, social, and environmental challenges?
How can tools like health economic analyses and frameworks such as the Wellbeing Economy help prioritise health and wellbeing in decision-making? And how can we ensure that both public and private stakeholders collaborate to shape policies that foster wellbeing while supporting sustainable development?
Public health in the age of digitalisation
Digitalisation offers new opportunities to promote good and equitable health by enhancing accessibility, increasing participation, improving welfare services, and facilitating the sharing of data and knowledge more effectively. However, it also presents challenges, such as negative health impacts from excessive screen time, the influence of social media on mental health, and the risk of digital exclusion of certain groups.
How are these issues tackled in the Nordic countries, and what role can digital technology and AI play in public health? What lessons have we learned and what innovations do we anticipate as we navigate both the benefits and risks of digitalisation?
