Nottingham Declaration

The Nottingham Declaration, established in 2000, is a commitment by local governments and organizations to prioritize health considerations in all policies and planning efforts. It encourages integrating health and wellbeing into environmental, social, and economic policies to create healthier communities. The goal is to ensure that decisions across various sectors support improvements in public health, reduce health inequalities, and promote sustainable development. Essentially, it emphasizes that health should be a key factor in policymaking beyond healthcare services, fostering a holistic approach to community well-being and environmental sustainability.
