Decentralize governance and increase inclusivity
Shift powers, decision-making, and resources to regional and local levels, streamline overlapping mandates of global organizations, and guarantee structural participation of civil society.
Reform and integrate health financing
Transition to predictable, multi-year international financing guided by "one national plan, one budget", alleviate the debt burden of countries, and increase domestic investments in universal public services.
Prioritize prevention and primary care
Systemically shift resources to universal primary care and prevention to address risk factors (such as unhealthy diets and pollution) and protect both physical and mental health.
Shift to a wellbeing economy and circular economy
Measure progress based on wellbeing rather than just economic growth (GDP), implement circular principles to minimize waste, and regulate commercial influences on public health.
Revise subsidies and taxes
Abolish subsidies harmful to climate and health, and use taxes on pollution and unhealthy products to finance healthcare, climate adaptation, and universal social safety nets.
Transform into healthy, sustainable food systems
Stimulate the transition to a predominantly plant-based diet ('Planetary Health Diet'), halve food waste, and ensure ecological agriculture with fair working conditions.
Develop climate-resilient, green healthcare and living environments
Ensure climate action becomes a core goal of healthcare, reduce the sector's ecological footprint, and invest in healthy urban environments and clean transport.
Strengthen regional data sovereignty, production, and healthcare workforce
Build locally managed data systems, pool the procurement and production of medicines at the regional level, and invest in the capacity, fair compensation, and retention of healthcare staff.
