Such an important conversation on leadership and the SDGs — happening now at World Health Summit.

“Progress is fragile. Starts local. Takes vision, humility and trust.”

Great insights, including from Anders Nordström, selina lo 羅南芝, Ilona Kickbusch and Dr. Ayoade Alakija.

The #SDGs are failing the global south, we can’t just look to New York and Geneva for solutions, we need to look to communities to identify solutions that will work Dr. Ayoade Alakija. #WHSMelbourne2024

Selina Namchee Lo calls out a glaring omission and failure:

“The #SDGs missed racism”.

“Can we embrace diversity as an asset, not just important in panels”.

Kicking off Day 3️⃣ of WHSMelbourne2024 with a breakfast session with Dr. Saia Ma’u Piukala, World Health Organization (WHO) Western Pacific Regional Director.

Priorities for his term:
👉 promote integrated approach to #healthsystems strengthening
👉 accelerate action on #climatechange & health
👉 build on lessons…

💡Esperanza Martinez, ANU: When an old system has pressure to survive, new systems can only emerge by “coalescing good examples”; find pockets of change, coalesce & cultivate to gain momentum.
Ask: What can I do at my level & who do I partner with to achieve it.
