All Policies for a Healthy Europe Manifesto Launch - 20 March

A EUROPE THAT CHAMPIONS WELL-BEING
Reframing EU priorities for the next five years

A global paradigm shift is occurring in attitudes towards economic and social progress. From a GDP centred model, a new paradigm now focuses on improving citizen’s well-being. All Policies for a Healthy Europe is a multi-stakeholder initiative calling for Europe to be part of that transformation in policy thinking and action.

At this high level event to launch the All Policies for a Healthy Europe manifesto, we will discuss:

• How cross- and inter-sectoral action on health and well-being can be embedded in broader EU strategies for sustainable development and inclusive growth
• The governance mechanisms needed to ensure effective inter-sectoral collaboration on health & well-being
• Opportunities for enhancing multi-level governance, international cooperation, and civil society participation in a Europe that prioritises well-being
