To suggest how public health systems and the health sector can utilise the United Nation (UN) sustainable development goals (SDGs) to address climate change and other threats to future health and deliver immediate public health benefits.
We examined UN and World Health Organisation guidance on SDGs and other published texts on systems thinking, integration, universality and co-benefits.
The UN SDGs are a set of globally agreed objectives to end poverty, protect all that makes the planet habitable and ensure that all people enjoy peace and prosperity. The SDGs integrate the three dimensions of sustainable development (economic, environmental and social), they apply to high-income countries as well as developing countries and there are mechanisms to hold countries to account. There are three crucial issues for public health. First, a systems approach to future proof health and social justice. Second, an evidence-based approach to aid communication, framing and engagement. And, third, the importance of interventions that deliver health co-benefits (i.e. both immediate and long-term benefits to health, equity and prosperity). The SDGs present public health professionals with an important opportunity to create the right conditions for a better future through the organised efforts of society.
提出公共卫生系统和卫生部门如何利用联合国可持续发展目标 (SDGs) 应对气候变化和对未来健康的其他威胁，并带来直接的公共卫生效益。
我们研究了联合国和世界卫生组织关于可持续发展目标的指导意见以及其他关于系统思维、一体化、普遍性和共同效益的已发表文本。
联合国可持续发展目标是一组全球商定的目标，旨在消除贫困、保护地球的所有宜居条件，并确保所有人享有和平与繁荣。可持续发展目标整合了可持续发展的三个维度（经济、环境和社会），它们适用于高收入国家和发展中国家，并有机制对各国进行问责。公共卫生有三个关键问题。首先，采用系统方法确保健康和社会正义具有前瞻性。其次，采用基于证据的方法来协助沟通、构建和参与。最后，重要的是采取干预措施以带来健康共同效益（即对健康、公平和繁荣的即时和长期效益）。可持续发展目标为公共卫生专业人员提供了一个重要机会，通过社会有组织的努力为更美好的未来创造有利条件。
