Including Health in Global Frameworks for Development, Wealth,
and Climate Change
Including Health in Global Frameworks for Development, Wealth,
and Climate Change is the summary of a three-part public
webinar convened by the Institute of Medicine Roundtable on
Environmental Health Sciences, Research, and Medicine and its
collaborative on Global Environmental Health and Sustainable
Development. Presenters and participants discussed the role of
health in measuring a country's wealth (going beyond gross
domestic product), health scenario communication, and
international health goals and indicators. The workshop focused
on fostering discussion across academic, government, business,
and civil society sectors to make use of existing data and
information that can be adapted to track progress of global
sustainable development and human health. This report examines
frameworks for global development goals and connections to health
indicators, the role for health in the context of novel
sustainable economic frameworks that go beyond gross domestic
product, and scenarios to project climate change impacts.
