The SDGs include 17 specific goals, and 169 associated targets that set out quantitative objectives across the social, economic, and environmental dimensions of sustainable development, all to be achieved by 2030. Health has been recognized as crucial for sustainable human development and an essential contributor to the economic growth of society. Beyond the goal to "ensure healthy lives and promoting well-being for all at all ages," many of the other SDGs include targets that are essential to address the environmental and social determinants of health. Considering this context, the Forum on Public-Private Partnerships for Global Health and Safety convened a workshop series to examine potential opportunities to engage the private sector and develop partnerships to advance health and the SDGs. This publication summarizes the presentations and discussions from the workshop series"--Publisher's description Bibliography Includes bibliographical references Notes Online resource; title from PDF title page (viewed December 18, 2017) Subject Sustainable Development Goals -- Congresses SUBJECT Sustainable Development Goals Sustainable Development Goals fast Subject Public-private sector cooperation -- Congresses World health -- Congresses Sustainable development -- Congresses World health.
