<p style="margin-left: 0.5in;"><font size="2" color="navy" face="Arial"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial; color: navy;" lang="EN">In a globalised world,
the dynamics of modernization and urbanization pose major challenges for
ecological sustainability and equitable, sustainable health development.
Competition for resources and environmental threats erode social solidarity and
exacerbate existing social inequalities, within and across countries. <br>
<br>
Sustainable improvement of health and well being in this context requires
strengthened and expanded partnerships that go beyond the health sector,
skilled advocacy, and evidence-based and ethically sound practice and policy. The
Conference will examine ways to achieve healthy people and healthy
environments.<br>
