Healthy people, healthy business
The 新型冠状病毒肺炎 pandemic has placed health and wellbeing at the forefront of the global agenda, revealing an urgent need to strengthen healthcare systems and build capacity and preparedness for health emergencies as well as routine care. The pandemic has also underlined inequalities, raising significant questions around access to healthcare and healthy lifestyles for the most vulnerable in our societies. 与此同时, environmental disruptions such as the climate crisis and nature loss, are compounding health concerns. 在这样的背景下, WBCSD的健康的人, Healthy Business project explores how businesses can play a pivotal role in supporting the long-term promotion of health and wellbeing.
所面临的挑战
The world is falling critically short of many of the Sustainable Development Goals’ health-related targets, from the delivery of universal health coverage to ambitions to end epidemics such as AIDS, malaria and tuberculosis and to reduce premature mortality from non-communicable diseases by 2030. 新型冠状病毒肺炎 is throwing progress on global health and wellbeing even further off track. Over three million people have now lost their lives to the disease, while the physical and mental collateral health impacts of the pandemic also look set to have devastating consequences.
