“………..WHO's Director Dr. Margaret Chan, has said on many occasions "what gets measured, gets done". The Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) are a good example. All countries are concerned about achieving their targets by 2015. They are measuring, they are doing.
As the process towards sustainable development evolves, soon MDGs will end and most likely, a new set of Sustainable Development Goals, with targets and indicators, will take their place. It is therefore of most importance that we begin to discuss how should “health” play in this new scenario.
For the Rio+20 discussions, we hear of many key topics to be addressed, from food security, to water, energy, cities, jobs, oceans, islands, disasters, climate change, biodiversity, land degradation, education, gender equality, production and consumption, chemicals, wastes, and others. We see health in all of them. We see health central to many of them. This Seminar brings together key thinkers and specialists who will discuss the topic of Sustainable Development Indicators from a health perspective.
Health is, after all, the best measure of how people are developing. There is no health without development but neither is there development without health….
