Globally, there is an increased emphasis on sustainable
development to protect natural resources for future generations. Many leaders
and NGOs have called for better approaches to measuring progress to ensure
these future generations are able to reach, at a minimum, the same standard of
living of the current generation. In the 2012 report, Resilient People,
Resilient Planet, the UN recognized the need to develop a set of indicators
that extended a country's wealth beyond GDP by focusing on a sustainable development
index.

This online seminar will focus on including health and wellbeing
as a measure of wealth in the era of sustainable development. The discussion
will inform the health community of the current measures of health and
well-being and opportunities for the future. Participants will hear from
internationally-recognized experts presenting on current efforts to measure
happiness and inclusive wealth.

This is the fourth in an ongoing series of webinars to look
at the intersection of sustainable development and global environmental health.
The goal of these webinars is to discuss opportunities to inform the global
community on health information for decision making and to raise awareness of
the global decision makers of the health implications of global policies.

The online seminar series is organized
with support from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences
(NIEHS) and the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO).



Objectives:



·                     
Provide an overview of current work
underway focusing on the “beyond GDP” initiative.

·                     
Discuss novel economic frameworks
that include health capital in the assessment, including both
        measures of mental and physical well-being as well as human health
impact of exposures and risks.

·                    
Identify opportunities for further
engagement with the various “beyond GDP” efforts underway.

Salud en el Contexto de Marcos
Económicos Sostenibles

Webinar No.1:
Jueves, 23 de mayo del 2013 [En inglés con traducción simultánea al español]

Hora: 2:30 pm - 4:00 pm (hora de Washington, D.C.)

Website: http://bit.ly/10IT6gn

A nivel mundial, se
está dando mayor énfasis al desarrollo sostenible para proteger los recursos
naturales para las generaciones futuras. Muchos líderes y ONGs han indicado la necesidad de
proveer mejores métodos para la medición del progreso, para asegurar que estas
generaciones futuras puedan alcanzar, como mínimo, el mismo nivel de vida de
que la generación actual. En
el informe del 2012: “Gente resiliente en un planeta resiliente: un
futuro que vale la pena elegir”, las Naciones Unidas reconocieron la
necesidad de elaborar un conjunto de indicadores que considere la riqueza de un
país más allá del PIB (producto interno bruto), enfocándose en un índice de
desarrollo sostenible.

Este
seminario virtual se centrará en la inclusión de la salud y el bienestar como
una medida de riqueza en la era del desarrollo sostenible. La discusión informará a
la comunidad de salud sobre las medidas actuales de salud y bienestar, así como
las oportunidades para el futuro. Los participantes escucharán a expertos
internacionalmente reconocidos quienes presentarán los esfuerzos actuales para
medir la felicidad y riqueza inclusiva.

 

Este es el cuarto de una serie de
seminarios virtuales que consideran la intersección entre el desarrollo
sostenible y la salud ambiental mundial. La meta de estos seminarios virtuales es de discutir
las oportunidades para informar a la comunidad mundial sobre la información de
salud para la toma de decisiones y para concientizar a los encargados de la
toma de decisiones mundiales de las implicaciones de la salud en las políticas
mundiales. La serie de
seminarios virtuales se organiza con el apoyo del Instituto Nacional de
Ciencias de Salud Ambiental (NIEHS) y de la Organización Panamericana de la Salud
(OPS).

Objetivos:



·                    
Proporcionar un
panorama de trabajo realizado hasta la fecha, enfocándose en la iniciativa
“más allá del PIB”.

·                    
Tratar marcos
económicos nuevos que incluyen el capital de salud en la evaluación, incluyendo
medidas de bienestar mental y físico así como el impacto en salud humana de las
exposiciones y riesgos.

·                    
Identificar
oportunidades de participación adicional con los diversos esfuerzos en marcha
en “más allá del PIB”.
