Introduction to The Intersection of Global Health and Sustainable Development

Corinne Schuster-Wallace and Lalita Bharadwaj

Chapter Chapter 1 in The Intersection of Global Health and Sustainable Development, 2025, pp 1-10 from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: The concept of health, its determinants, and the way in which the world interprets and responds to health is broader than its physical manifestation. At its inception, the World Health Organization defined health as “a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being.” From a societal perspective, the Sustainable Development Goals have the world committing to a balance between social development, economic growth and environmental integrity, with a fundamental underpinning of “leaving no-one behind.” The natural intersection between global health and sustainable development are explored through different lenses, but generate common messages around monitoring, implementation research, weaving Indigenous, local, and modern science knowledge, and co-developed research. This is how we respond to inequities and build resilient communities.
