Sustainable Health Equity Movement (SHEM)

We are ordinary citizens, public health experts, healthcare workers, scientists, academics, professional associations, universities, research centers, and other related institutions. We aim to promote sustainable health equity as an ethical principle that guides all national and international economic, social, and environmental policies. To achieve sustainable healthy equity, we are already late in addressing the two biggest intertwined challenges of our time: social inequality and the climate crisis. In a world with plenty of economic resources to guarantee the needs of all humans, the existence of large health inequities results in the basic needs of millions not being met.
