Themes: Health, Equity and Sustainability
The 20th IUHPE World Conference on Health Promotion will examine ways to build bridges between the fields of health promotion and sustainable development. The main objective is to improve health for all in the context of today’s globalised and increasingly urbanised world, which threatens the sustainability and equity of individuals and the environment. The thematic scope of the Conference will particularly focus on :
- Sustainable environment and health
- Equitable and sustainable health development
- Participatory governance
Organisation: Scientific Committee
The organisers in collaboration with the IUHPE have put together a solid structure to ensure the conference’s content is on the avant-guard of global health development, and representation and participation are broad and equitable. Here you can see the experts and professionals participating in the organisation and the members of the global and Swiss scientific committees.
