Health beyond borders: the future of health promotion.

This article situates the field of health promotion in its current cutting-edge agendas around health and wellbeing; social and other determinants of health; complexity and its associated sciences; planetary health; and inclusion and diversity. However, it is also proposed that there are emergent dimensions that should be placed more deliberately on the agendas of health promotion research and practice. The piece offers three dimensions for noting health promotion futures: a cognitive, spatial and temporal one. The first is a non-anthropocentric appreciation of the complex interactions between geosphere, biosphere and anthroposphere that can be framed through a lens of governance and cosmology; the second one is established by humankind's journeys beyond the atmosphere into outer space; and the third one argues we - that is, the global health (promotion) community - need to account for temporal determinants of health, more consciously and conscientiously. The gazes seem beyond current agendas of health - but the article demonstrates how they are to become mission-critical aspects of contemporary and future worlds.
