    Open AccessSabrina Lynette Thomas, John Catford et al.ARTICLEHealth Promotion International2026

    From the first issue in May 1986, Health Promotion International (HPI) (Health Promotion until 1990) pursued an agenda of advocacy and action for healthy public policy and health equity. At the time of the journal’s launch, public health had become oriented toward medicalized and behavioural approaches, with individualized health education the dominant intervention. In HPI’s first editorial, then Director General of the World Health Organization …

  • A call for a shared future vision for Planetary and One Health Literacy

    Open AccessCarmen Jochem, Gerardine Doyle et al.ARTICLEHealth Promotion International2025

    Global health is increasingly shaped by interlinked crises such as climate change, biodiversity loss, pollution, and social inequalities, all of which undermine the determinants of health. At the same time, the digital revolution and geopolitical instability amplify misinformation and inequities. Health literacy has been recognized by the WHO Global Health Strategy as a key pillar of resilient health systems, while the Lancet One Health Commissio…

To gain insight into how countries are approaching safety in digital environments for children and adolescents, the Digital Transformations for Health‐Lab (DTH‐Lab) team analyzed policies and regulations worldwide, mapping national strategies to protect young peopl…

  • Data solidarity

    Open AccessSeliem El-Sayed, Ilona Kickbusch et al.ARTICLEGlobal Public Health2025

    Most data governance frameworks are designed to protect the individuals from whom data originates. However, the impacts of digital practices extend to a broader population and are embedded in significant power asymmetries within and across nations. Further, inequities in digital societies impact everyone, not just those directly involved. Addressing these challenges requires an approach which moves beyond individual data control and is grounded i…

  • From strategic autonomy to strategic partnership

    Open AccessSanjay M Pattanshetty, Aniruddha Inamdar et al.ARTICLEGlobal Policy2024

    The study examines the potential of the European Union (EU)–India cooperation in health diplomacy and the exchange of lessons learned by both actors. Particularly, the growing discourse on achieving strategic autonomy in health has not been adequately analysed in the existing literature, which is surprising given that both actors share this interest. This paper begins by contextualising the discourse of strategic autonomy in the European and Indi…

  • A health promotion perspective on One Health

    Open AccessEvelyne De Leeuw, Ilona Kickbusch et al.ARTICLECanadian Journal of Public Health2024Referências: 30

    The One Health concept has acquired increasing attention due to the COVID-19 pandemic. We argue for a health promotion perspective that frames One Health in terms of positive health for people, animals, and ecosystems and includes a spiritual-cosmological dimension. This would enhance policy, research, and practice across disciplines and sectors for a more resilient and harmonious planet

  • Addressing the digital determinants of health

    Open AccessIlona Kickbusch, Louise HollyARTICLEHealth Promotion International2023

    In 1986, more than 200 people gathered for the 1st International Conference on Health Promotion and laid the foundation for a new public health movement aimed at enabling people to increase control over, and to improve, their health (World Health Organization, 1986). Three years before the invention of the world wide web, the authors of the Ottawa Charter could not have predicted the scale and pace of digital transformation that we are experienci…

  • Against data individualism

    Open AccessIlona Kickbusch, Barbara PrainsackARTICLEGlobal Policy2023

    An accord to increase global pandemic preparedness is currently negotiated at the World Health Organisation (WHO). One aspect is conspicuously missing from the draft version: data governance. As the COVID‐19 pandemic has shown, the availability of good quality data, and prudent ways of using this data while preventing other forms of data use that is harmful to people and communities, is literally a matter of life and death. It is of utmost import…

  • The Wellbeing Economy is within reach—let’s grasp it for better health

    Open AccessIlona Kickbusch, Sandro Demaio et al.ARTICLEHealth Promotion International2022

    It is well understood that ensuring the health and wellbeing of the population and the planet requires action on a wide range of social, economic, cultural and environmental determinants. Current economic policies typically pay insufficient heed to these determinants compromising the future health of the planet and inadequately considering the impact of intergenerational transfer of wealth and resources. We now have a critical opportunity to pivo…

  • A watershed for health promotion

    Open AccessIlona Kickbusch, Don NutbeamARTICLEHealth Promotion International2017

    The 9th WHO Global Conference on Health Promotion - held in Shanghai, China in November 2016 - was extraordinary. It was held almost exactly 30 years after the first Global Conference in Ottawa, Canada that produced the Ottawa Charter (WHO 1986). The Ottawa Charter brought about a genuine paradigm shift in thinking about how to improve public health. The Shanghai Conference could prove to be another watershed for public health action if the ideas…

  • The Global Fund’s paradigm of oversight, monitoring, and results in Mozambique

    Open AccessAshley Warren, Roberto Cordon et al.ARTICLEGlobalization and Health2017

    BACKGROUND: The Global Fund is one of the largest actors in global health. In 2015 the Global Fund was credited with disbursing close to 10 % of all development assistance for health. In 2011 it began a reform process in response to internal reviews following allegations of recipients' misuse of funds. Reforms have focused on grant application processes thus far while the core structures and paradigm have remained intact. We report results of dis…

  • The commercial determinants of health

    Open AccessIlona Kickbusch, Luke N Allen et al.ARTICLEThe Lancet Global Health2016

    WHO Director-General Margaret Chan has noted that “efforts to prevent non-communicable diseases go against the business interests of powerful economic operators”.1 Selling processed food and drink, alcohol, and tobacco is big business and demand is booming, especially in low-income and middle-income countries.

    In this article we reflect on the quality of a realist synthesis paradigm applied to the evaluation of Phase V of the WHO European Healthy Cities Network. The programmatic application of this approach has led to very high response rates and a wealth of important data. All articles in this Supplement report that cities in the network move from small-scale, time-limited projects predominantly focused on health lifestyles to the significant inclusio…

  • A new governance space for health

    Open AccessIlona Kickbusch, Martina Marianna Cassar SzaboARTICLEGlobal Health Action2014

    Global health refers to 'those health issues which transcend national boundaries and governments and call for actions on the global forces and global flows that determine the health of people'. (Kickbusch 2006) Governance in this trans-national and cross-cutting arena can be analyzed along three political spaces: global health governance, global governance for health, and governance for global health. It is argued that the management of the inter…
