The document discusses social determinants of health and health inequities. It defines social determinants as the circumstances where people are born, live, work and age that are shaped by economics, social policies and politics. Health inequities refer to unjust differences in health status between population groups that are avoidable. The document reviews the historical context of addressing social determinants, from the WHO constitution in 1948 to current efforts by the Commission on Social Determinants of Health. It presents frameworks that illustrate how social factors get "under the skin" to impact health and discusses measuring social economic position. The document also highlights the social gradient seen in health outcomes between and within countries in a global context. It proposes an integral approach is needed to

This presentation covers three key messages:
Climate justice (rechtvaardigheid) is a concept that should be at the heart of the climate change discourse, and is tied to the causes, consequences and interventions

Social and commercial determinants in global health
1. Social determinants
& global health

2. Learning objectives
• To understand the social determinants of health,
how they operate, and how they can be changed to
improve health and reduce health inequalities.
• Recognize and address the social gradients that
occur in a global health context
• To discuss how commercial and corporate
determinants influence heath
5
5. The social determinants of health
are the circumstances in which
people are born, grow up, live,
work and age, and the systems
put in place to deal with illness.
These circumstances are in turn
shaped by a wider set of forces:
economics, social policies, and
politics.
Definition: social determinants
8
7. Health inequalities can be defined as
differences in health status or in the distribution
of health determinants between different
population groups. (..) It is important to
distinguish between inequality in health and
inequity.
Health inequalities can be attributable to:
1. Biological variations or free choice
– Unavoidable?
2. External environment and conditions
mainly outside the control of the
individuals concerned.
– Unnecessary and avoidable / unjust and
unfair?
– If so: the resulting health inequalities
also lead to inequity in health.
Definition: health inequities

2. Tackle inequitable distribution
of power, money and resources
3. Measure and understand the
problem and assess the impact
of action

Equity from the start (life course), fair
employment, healthy living and work
conditions, social protection, universal health
care
2. Tackle inequitable distribution of
power, money and resources
Health equity in all policies, fair financing,
market responsibility, gender equity, political
empowerment, good global governance

problem and assess the impact
of action
Monitoring, research, training

46. Tobacco: example of commercial & social
determinant and effective policy (SDG 3.A)
47. Public health analysis of the power of the
corporate sector
Commercial determinants of health:
“a synergistic, multidisciplinary field that addresses the
drivers and channels through which corporations
propagate the non-communicable diseases
pandemic.”
• Expanded the term ‘corporate determinants of
health’, coined by Miller in 2013
49. Channels through which influence is
exerted
Marketing: enhances desirability and
acceptability of unhealthy
commodities
Extensive supply chains: amplify
company influence around the globe
Lobbying: impede policy barriers
Corporate social responsibility
strategies: deflect attention and
whitewash tarnished reputations
50. What is necessary for an effective response?
McKee and Stuckler (2018):
“at the heart of an extremely complex subject lies the
nature of power. An effective response to the corporate
and commercial determinants of health must address
the power imbalance between the global corporations,
which are accountable only to their owners and
shareholders, and governments, which are accountable
to their citizens”
51. Four ways corporations exert power & how
to balance this (1)
They identify four ways corporations exert power and
to to restore a balance to align corporate behavior
more to public good.
NB, power includes
• Visible power: laws and regulations
• Hidden power: access to key decision makers or
rules or procedures that include or exclude certain
groups
52. Four ways corporations exert power & how
to balance this
1. Defining the narrative
2. Set the rules and procedures by which society is
governed
3. Determine the rights, living and working conditions of
ordinary people
4. Take ownership of knowledge and ideas
53. What can be done about it?
• Challenge dominant narratives
– E.g. with social determinants: focus how people’s choices
are structured by forces outside their immediate control
– Illuminate how corporate actors share narratives
• Shape norms for health policymaking, support measures
that impose checks and balances on corporate power
– FCTC Article 5.3: excludes tobacco industry from health
policy making
• Support communities that have stood up
– E.g. US: local administrators that have adopted soda taxes,
by evaluate it’s impact
• Alignment with other social movements
– E.g. health and environment
55. • Social determinants play a major role in all aspects of health
and disease, and can be categorized in structural and
intermediate affects through various pathways.
• The importance of SDH and health equity is increasingly
internationally recognized and applied, for example in the
SDGs
