Health-Promoting Community

-Automatic translation

The United Nations Global Goals are universal, interwoven, and synergistic. They are based on three pillars of sustainable development, i.e. social, economic, and environmental sustainability, emphasising leaving no one behind.

Implementing Health-Promoting Community and Health-Promoting Schools fits well with the Global Goals and vice versa. This is obvious when examining goal 3, which focuses on ensuring healthy lives and promoting well-being for all ages. This goal is integrated into all the other goals. See the picture of Health and well-being and the Global Goals.

The administration of the Global Goals in Iceland and the Directorate of Health have therefore agreed on implementing the Global Goals into the work of Health-Promoting Communities and together work towards raising awareness among local communities and the general public about SDGs and the determinants of health and well-being.
