Description
The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) provide a global framework for addressing the world’s challenges, with health and well-being at the forefront of this agenda. It directly targets the improvement of global health outcomes, but its influence extends across nearly all goals. Access to clean water and sanitation, quality education, gender equality, and reduced inequalities, among others, are interconnected with health determinants and outcomes. Achieving the SDGs requires integrated policies and cross-sector collaboration to address the causes of health disparities and to build resilient systems to address global health threats, like pandemics and climate change. Health and well-being are foundational to and reflective of sustainable development, making their advancement essential for global progress.
Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) and Its Intersection With Health and Well-Being explores environmental toxicology, its effects, and its relation to clinical medicine and immunology. It examines instances of socio-economic distress and its relevant health issues. This book covers topics such as health systems, psychology, and social discrimination, and is a useful resource for business owners, engineers, policymakers, medical professionals, academicians, researchers, and scientists.
