Length: 1:01:44 minutes
Many of the known solutions to the physical inactivity pandemic operate across sectors relevant to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals and can help improve global health equity. This presentation provides an overview of the contribution of physical activity promotion strategies towards advancing human and planetary health, while promoting social justice and equity. Evidence is shared demonstrating the importance of adopting a synergistic approach to physical activity promotion, sustainable development, and equity promotion, involving multiple sectors beyond health around their goals and values, using physical activity promotion as a lever for a healthier, more equitable planet.
