The Tools for Action have been developed to provide concrete guidance for academics, policy makers and those who want to accelerate action towards achieving sustainable health. The themes have been jointly chosen by our senior experts.
Sustainable Health is defined as “a multisectoral area for study, research and practice towards improving health and wellbeing for all, while staying within planetary boundaries”. These toolkits include hands-on methods, tips and practical frameworks, which will help you push for sustainable health in your projects.
Now let's explore!
These toolkits can be used based on your need and purpose. They don’t have a particular order.
Innovation & Technology for Health
By following a process with users in mind from the start, you increase you chances of creating a sustainable solution.
Research to Action
Paths to transforming research to action are not always straightforward, but there are tools and guidelines that help accelerate efforts.
Visualising and Communicating Data
Effective visualisations are an important way to make knowledge accessible to others so they can make use of hight-quality research.
Information and Digitalisation
By converting health data that's today on paper to a digital format, you immediately unlock great potential and future proof the data.
Multisectoral collaboration
Sustainable health is a complex domain and linking different areas of expertise is crucial to accomplish actions leading to impact.
“We need to work together to face global challenges and to push for sustainable health. We strongly believe that multisectoral collaborations is an impactful way of reaching outside the box and broadening perspectives.”
