Amazing new publication demonstrates how @who.int can connect and lead. Great work by team led by @eurohealthnet.bsky.social with partners across the globe bringing this together. A blueprint for ambitious decision-makers that remembers burning(!) issues like #climate, #equity, #sustainability etc

Wonderful to see ambitious publication from @who.int - and needed reminder that the problems we wanted to solve with #SDG are still very much here. And currently many are backsliding - an expensive and shortsighted experiment at global level. Kudos to @eurohealthnet.bsky.social for leading process.

Cool to see this in circulation; a first step for discussions and progress on policies to begin. A long fight for sure, but easier with blueprint/map. Feels great to imbed ideas from @nordichealth2030.bsky.social for global policy inspiration. Plenty more to do! @eurohealthnet.bsky.social @who.int

Strong youth activity in the JA PreventNCD meeting in Katowice June 16-18 in Polish EU Presidency. Great to get this energy and creativity in the room - same old is simply not an MO for change… @eurohealthnet.bsky.social @ehff.bsky.social @wellbeingacademy.bsky.social @nordichealth2030.bsky.social

Facilitating this one. Look forward to debate, ideas, and next steps not just for #health and #wellbeing, but also for #trust. @nordichealth2030.bsky.social @euregha.bsky.social @wellbeingacademy.bsky.social

Health is politics too. And policies dressed up as “cost cutting” are tools to create positive feedback loops for populists. Better use of trust design could help prevent this trap. #trustliteracy @charlottemar.bsky.social @micheclb.bsky.social @ehff.bsky.social @wellbeingacademy.bsky.social

Design thinking for better wellbeing. Nice. Needed even more in times of crisis - themselves designed to destroy public health, public trust, and public hope. Current chaos is not a coincidence - see @thelancet.com publication in link also. #futurehealth

Wonderful to be part of such a core project for the future of easy and mobile access to your personal health information across borders and systems. Kick off in Dublin next week - can’t wait. #futurehealth

Soon sharing more - kick off next week in Dublin. But great to get going in this groundbreaking project for future of access, interoperability, and freedom in Europe. #futurehealth

Clear case of two design strategies for wellbeing - two very different perceptions of wellbeing too. The choice is also one of community vs isolation. The latter absolutely with significant ripple effects for health of society also. #futurehealth

Reimagining our urban spaces and they way we choose to use them. Always good to also remind ourselves, that we humans design the health determinants, not vice versa. #futurehealth

YouTube video by World Economic Forum The Netherlands is building a neighbourhood where every car must be shared

Change by community. Super. Utrecht is already worth a visit, but perhaps next time in this new neighbourhood? #urbanwellbeing @who.int @ehff.bsky.social @wellbeingacademy.bsky.social @eurohealthnet.bsky.social

Great to have been part of the launch event of @ieep.eu & GEF today in Brussels. Super report on policy pathways for European #wellbeingeconomy - see link in picture. Look forward to share, debate, and push new narrative. @ehff.bsky.social @wellbeingacademy.bsky.social @eurohealthnet.bsky.social

Happy to join Strategic Partners' Initiative for Data and Digital Health at @who.int Europe. The SPI-DDH is exploring many elements of the future of digital - in homes, hospitals, research, analysis. Collaboration for health needed more than ever. #futurehealth @wellbeingacademy.bsky.social

And I am an ally. If you are too, let the world know.

want to double tree canopy in 20 years?

i have a plan for that

Amazing messaging from Kumi Naidoo on equitable, effective #climateaction at @oecd-ocde.bsky.social High-Level Social Policy Forum. Including message of hope and agency - Wir schaffen das (sort of). @ehff.bsky.social @wellbeingacademy.bsky.social

Keep going. No matter how bad things may seem. No matter how many tears you’ve cried. No matter how hopeless it seems. Keep going. You are worth it. You are able. We are here. We won’t let you fail. Keep going

And will create a precedent with endless cost. When the Rule of Law no longer applies even in democracies (at least the FPTP kind) how can we navigate rough seas? Pun certainly intended. The cost in wellbeing will be sky high for everyone

International Day of Women and Girls in Science: Creating a Better Future. Through hands-on science events, we show girls that STEM is for everyone. Nurturing creativity & problem-solving, we equip them with the confidence to pursue their dreams in STEM. #WomenInScienceDay #February11 #WomenInSTEM

Actionable solutions. Our favourite kind. And at community level too! #futurehealth

A story about loss, a story about perseverance, and a story about hope. Recommended read.

‘Woman, life, freedom’: the Syrian feminists who forged a new world in a land of war In a society riven by conflict and misogyny, the autonomous region of Rojava has a government with perhaps the most complete gender equality in the world

Absolutely. Just as using AI in health care to eg increase the number of knee surgeries 50% would be missing the point; instead use it to decrease the need 50%. Better for people and planet. Transformation must be evolution, not just new coat of paint. #futurehealth

Sharing a meal creates a strong ripple effect. Sharing a meal everyday, even more. Look forward to see great data in five, 10, 20 years too… from the power of having a nurturing environment in school. #futurehealth

Trust by design? Not exactly, but possibly by strategy. Great event in Brussels today w @wellbeingacademy.bsky.social . Super w contributions from @euregha.bsky.social et al - summary and webinar ahead. #futurehealth #trust #wellbeing @ehff.bsky.social @nordichealth2030.bsky.social

Cool case of wellbeing by design. Fewer hours at work also leads to higher productivity pr hour (or contributes to…) - design of your workplace/labour market/economy matters and design choices can lead to higher wellbeing within the same economy. Imagine the impact of true #wellbeingeconomy too!
