6. Health goals / Sustainability goals?
“Health and wellbeing are an outcome, a
determinant and an enabler of all 17 SDGs”
Dr Zsuzanna Jakab, WHO
“Health and wellbeing are both preconditions and
outcomes of sustainable development”
A Nunes BMJ
“Climate, Health and Equity are inseparable”
NZ College of Public Health Medicine
8. Health in All Polices: tools to help us engage
• A structured approach to working across sectors and with
communities on public policies.
• Promotes trusting relationships and engages stakeholders to
systematically take into account the implications of decisions.
• Seeks synergies to improve societal goals, population health and
health equity.
(Rob Quigley, Consultant)
10. Speaking the same language
Health speak Development speak
Equity Leave no one behind
Social, economic and environmental
determinants
Social, economic and environmental
dimensions
Empowerment Empowered people
Resilient communities / Life course Resilient nations
Whole of society / Whole of
Government
Good governance and peace-building
Health in all policies Health in all SDGs
Rights and gender based Rights and gender based
(Dr Zsuzanna Jakab, WHO)
11. HiAP practice brings:
• Synergy – common ground, entry point
• Using and forming a common language
• Leave no one behind / Equity
• Collaborations and Relationship building
• Schools, Food provision, Building, Planning, Health systems,
Environmental scientists, Researchers ………
• Find or develop together tools to support achieving outcomes
12. So.....
• Explore the SDGs
• Watch for them appearing in conversations and build on that
• Compare your work against them, is it adding value
• Explore HiAP and the tools and skills involved
• Its not all starting new - reread the Ottawa Charter –
Editor's Notes
Check with the audience if any of these terms are familiar – do we know a little about one or both or neither
Know quite a bit about HiAP but not speaking as an expert on SDGs but recently spent time at a conference exploring their relationship – at the end of this presentation you might feel encouraged to find out more about these two things
Came into effect in January 2016
Requires the partnership of governments, private sector, civil society and citizens
Universal call to action to end poverty, protect the planet and ensure that all people enjoy peace and prosperity.
Build on the Millennium Goals
New Zealand is expected to play its part
Lots of interest in implementation of the SDGs
Key Message: The interpretation of the SDGs can be broad and valuable these diagrams depict how various interests can put themselves at the centre or make themselves the focus including business (bottom left is Nokia saying that for instance doing their business with integrity helps goal 17 around)
Me of course put health in the centre and good health and wellbeing is essential component of and requirement for achieving all SDG’s
Key message: moving away from talking about health or sustainability like they are two different things instead seeing them as inseparable and I particularly like the first statement
There has been some critique and past discourse that human health outcomes and environmental health outcomes are not always aligned. We would like to argue along with others in this space that the two are totally linked – we can’t have one without the other.
Cut and paste from WHO presentation on 2030 Agenda also found it at http://www.euro.who.int/__data/assets/pdf_file/0006/323538/RD-presentation-Launch-of-the-Knowledge-Hub-on-Health-and-Migration-15-November-2016,-Palermo,-Italy.pdf Dr Zsuzanna Jakab
Many of us will be very familiar with this diagram that shows clearly the impact of the environment on human health and also the opposite affect. The SDGs and this document are different ways of showing a similar story. As we move out from the centre we also impact the decisions we make and the lives we live impact on lifestyles, the communities we are part of the local economy – it is all strongly integrated.
So this brings us to HiAP – a model, framework, way of thinking that enables us to work together on these large wicked problems around health and sustainability.
Lets start with some simple definitions:
I worked through the definition pulling out the key parts and what they mean
So what are the skills that HiAP practitioners bring to the table – many and varied – just a simple word cloud fun to make but also really important to understand these skills are found in many spheres and we can work to these strengths to make connections and build common ground. But one of the key skills is listening and walking in others shoes which means understanding different languages that our partners speak
Health in All Policies seeks first to understand the drivers and language of our partners – most often a little different but also sometimes the same as in the last example. But even if the same are the actually speaking of the same thing – eg Rights and gender based in NZ might be about pay equity but Rights and gender based in developing countries might be access to education for girls
Summary slide showing you can come at things in a number of ways. Also identifying that there are some things out there already to help us and we don’t have to start from scratch
Don’t have change all of your practice because of a new tool – instead it’s a new opportunity
The last dot point comes in on its own just making the point that the Ottawa Charter has a lot of this thinking it is has just developed over time.
