Abstract
The Health Promotion Forum of New Zealand, the IUHPE and their partners are looking forward to host this important global public health event, in Rotorua, New Zealand in April 2019. The aim is to provide an unparalleled opportunity to link and demonstrate the contribution of health promotion to the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and to acknowledge the way SDGs contribute to improvements in health and wellbeing.
Announcement
Argument
The Global Scientific Committee invites you to submit an abstract for presentation at the 23rd IUHPE World Conference on Health Promotion held in Rotorua, New Zealand from 7th to 11th April 2019. Participatory, collaborative and non-traditional session formats will be given priority in the selection process.
With 3000 delegates expected from New Zealand, Australia, the Pacific Islands, the wider Asia-Pacific region, Europe, Americas, Middle East and Africa, it will be an invaluable forum for those in the sector to exchange knowledge and build networks, in order to:
- share strategies, policies and practices;
- present results and assess progress;
- influence policy and bring about positive change; and
- promote health and equity amongst all people.
Abstract Themes
The theme of our Conference is Waiora: Promoting Planetary Health and Sustainable Development. It is based on the traditional Maori concept of ‘Waiora.’ Translated literally as ‘healing and healthy waters,’ Waiora reflects the dependence of our own health on that of our planet, and recognises the major global challenge of balancing ongoing development with environmental stewardship. We encourage submissions to match the sub-themes of the Conference:
Health equity
Ensure health equity throughout the life course, within and among countries, making each member of the global society an empowered lifelong learner.
Inclusive habitats
Make all urban and other habitats inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable and conducive to health and wellbeing.
Climate change adaptation strategies
Design and implement effective and fair climate change adaptation strategies.
Build effective, accountable and inclusive governance
Build effective, accountable and inclusive governance at all levels that promotes, peace, justice and respect of human rights.
