Energy And Health- Nexus: Key Intersectional Aspects For Students, Policy Makers, Managers and Practitioners

Connecting economic growth, social equity and sustainable environment is the resource “energy”. According to the United Nations, development is not possible without sustainable energy (UN 2012). Energy policy is not on a basic condition for economic and industrial development but also critical for health. Thus, reducing poverty and providing health for all is linked to ensuring universal and sustainable access to modern day energy as indicated in within the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

  • Discuss the most important existing empirical evidence of the links between energy and health
  • Explore the consequences of energy policies on health and health care
  • Identify agents, actors and stakeholders that can influence policy in a complex system
