QoG-Lancet Policy Day 2024: Policy pathways to sustainable well-being and peace
“Policy pathways to sustainable well-being and peace: How do we protect or even improve institutional quality, health equity and gender equality under crisis and conflict?”
Save the Date for the Policy Day organized by the Quality of Government Institute and the Lancet Commission on Peaceful Societies through Health Equity and Gender Equality on the theme: “Policy pathways to sustainable well-being and peace: "How do we protect or even improve institutional quality, health equity and gender equality under crisis and conflict?"
We are excited to announce that a Policy Day co-organized by the Quality of Government Institute at the University of Gothenburg and the Lancet Commission on Peaceful Societies through Health Equity and Gender Equality will be held in Gothenburg on November 26th, 2024. During this day, academics and practitioners will discuss the findings and policy implications of the Lancet Commission Report on Peaceful Societies through Health Equity and Gender Equality (The Lancet Commission on peaceful societies through health equity and gender equality - The Lancet) and build on this foundation by looking more deeply into how we protect or even improve institutional quality, health equity and gender equality under crisis and conflict.
This Lancet Commission was launched to understand the interaction between SDG 3 on Good Health and Well-Being, SDG 5 on Gender Equality and SDG 16 on Peace, Justice and Strong Institutions. The commission’s research established an empirical foundation for the mutually beneficially reinforcing relationship between health equity, gender equality, and peace and the mutually harmfully reinforcing relationship between health inequity, gender inequality and violence. The report also contributed to international global policy development by providing practical and actionable guidance and recommendations to communities, civil society groups, states and international institutions on how to transition societies from the harmful to the beneficial cycles as depicted in the figure below.
Save the date to join us for this Policy Day that will engage with and develop this framework for informing policy pathways to sustainable well-being and peace!
