○ Gender equality —
relates to females having the same opportunities as males. This promotes social health and wellbeing as females are more empowered to make their own decisions about their lives, such as who they marry.
Elimination of poverty and the provision of social protection systems
this means ensuring that no one lives in poverty, including those who can’t earn an income. This promotes mental health and wellbeing as people are less likely to experience stress related to accessing resources such as food.
Innovation and diversity of industries
relates to developing new industries and having a range of different industries so if one fails, the others can promote economic sustainability. This means that the economy is more secure, so money can continue to be provided for resources such as healthcare that promote physical health and wellbeing.
Economic growth
refers to ensuring that average incomes can continue to increase into the future. Economic growth ensures that money is available for resources such as food and water, which reduces the risk of infectious diseases (physical health and wellbeing).
Biodiversity
relates to the variety of life forms and the ecosystems in which they live. Achieving balance in biodiversity means that resources required for health and wellbeing will be available such as food, water and clean air.
Climate change
this relates to rising temperatures that influence weather patterns and sea levels. Reducing the effects of climate change will mean greater food availability and fewer natural disasters. This reduces the risk of illness and injury, and promotes physical health and wellbeing.
