| What is it about? | Global inequalities in health and opportunity are widely evident and not simply a product of individual choices but in part derive from the outcome of political, economic, societal, environmental, and international development decisions. Issues such as climate change, economic crisis and poor financial and health governance are common in developing and developed countries alike and have profound health effects. Addressing these health and related challenges requires a broad and coordinated approach to global development from different sectors and academic disciplines to formulate a more appropriate global development agenda. |
