High-level Interactive Dialogue on the Social, Economic and Environmental Determinants of Health [1]

[]

Date: 2025-07-11

With support from WHO, the President of the UN General Assembly is hosting a High-level Interactive Dialogue on the Determinants of Health, prior to the 2025 UN High-level Political Forum. This Dialogue offers a timely opportunity to spotlight and build on growing global efforts to advance the social determinants of health equity.



The event will consist of an opening segment, a plenary session and a panel discussion with experts on social, economic, commercial and environmental determinants of health. The meeting is open to Member States and Observers of the UN General Assembly as well as entities of the UN System. Civil society organizations with consultative status with ECOSOC are also invited to participate in the panel discussion.



The Dialogue comes on the heels of the release by WHO in May of the landmark World report on social determinants of health equity, the first global report on the topic since the report of the 2008 WHO Commission on the Social Determinants of Health. With 14 specific recommendations for action, the World Report focuses the narrative and action agenda on what produces and reproduces health inequities and what proven policy remedies are available.



As part of the discussions mandated by the UN General Assembly to address determinants of health, the Dialogue will serve as another occasion to draw attention to the World Report’s recommendations and their potential gains for the overall development agenda. Among these include the World Report’s capacity to inform global, national, and local policymaking and provide a foundation for coordinated action and investment in social determinants of health equity.
