With only 10 years left until the 2030 deadline on the Sustainable Development Goals, we are working with the World Health Organization (WHO) and others on a global action plan to ensure healthy lives and well-being for all. Alex Harris explains how.

The pressure is on. We’ve only got 10 years left and we need a plan. I know, you’re thinking climate change. But I’m talking about health and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

Introduced in 2015, the SDGs are a collection of 17 global goals set by the United Nations. They ambitiously describe the world we’d like to inhabit in 2030 and provide targets and indicators to help us know if we have succeeded. But they don’t provide a plan for how we’ll collectively get there.

In health, this is changing. There’s a plan emerging, and we’d like to hear what you think.
