Health in the wellbeing economy – for healthy people on a healthy planet

Guest speaker Dora Gudmundsdóttir, Director of Public Health at the Directorate of Health in Iceland, discusses how the wellbeing economy approach can be developed further to enhance health and wellbeing for people and the planet.

Health is not created within the health system, it is created and lived by people within the settings of their everyday life; where they learn, work, play and love. Since decisions made for all these settings have an impact on health and wellbeing, it is important to have a systematic approach to evaluate this impact.
