At the Seventy-sixth World Health Assembly held 21-30 May 2023, Member States adopted the WHA Decision A76(22), Achieving well-being: a global framework for integrating well-being into public health utilizing a health promotion approach, which strives to enable all people to flourish and achieve their full physical and mental health potential throughout their lives and across generations. The Framework recommends six strategic directions that focus on: Effective implementation of these strategic directions should constitute part of a national governance system based on a ‘whole-of-government’ and ‘whole-of-society’ approach. The Framework is based on close collaboration between sectors outside of health and with communities to promote and protect health. It serves as a guide for stakeholders to engage in a coherent and coordinated manner around a common purpose: promoting the health of people and planet in a sustainable and equitable manner. There are complementarities with the work on social determinants of health and equity, on primary health care and OneHealth among others. And is aligned with several WHO health promotion activities, including promoting physical activity, the Tobacco Free initiative and less consumption of alcohol. The Assembly requests the Director-General to report on implementation of the Framework in 2024, 2026 and 2031.

Governing the Interlinkages between the SDGs: Approaches, Opportunities and Challenges identifies the institutional processes, governance mechanisms and policy mixes that are conducive to devising strategies of integrated Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) implementation. The book edited by Anita Breuer, Daniele Malerba, Srinivasa Srigiri and Pooja Balasubramanian examines the dedicated policies targeting the SDGs, as well as political and institutional drivers of synergies and trade-offs between the SDGs in selected key areas – both cross-nationally and in specific country contexts. Their analysis moves beyond the focus on links between SDG indicators and targets. Instead, the book takes advantage of recent evidence from the initial implementation phase of the SDGs and each chapter explores the question of which political-institutional prerequisites, governance mechanisms and policy instruments are suited to accelerate the implementation of the SDGs. The findings presented are intended to both inform high-level policy debates and to provide orientation for practitioners working on development cooperation. This volume will be of great interest to practitioners and policy makers in the field of sustainable development, as well as academics in the fields of sustainability research, political science, and economics.
