10am-12pm
(Sydney, AEST)
(Networking lunch to follow)
How do we embed health and equity into the decisions that shape how we live our lives? This is the question at the heart of our upcoming hybrid seminar, which brings a rare opportunity to learn from Wales – a global leader in wellbeing-focused governance.
Join us to hear from Professor Liz Green, one of the world's leading Health Impact Assessment experts, as she shares insights from Wales' ground-breaking Wellbeing of Future Generations Act and explores what these lessons mean for building HIA capacity across Australia. We will continue the conversation over a networking lunch with fellow participants.
Keynote speaker
Professor Liz Green
Public Health Wales Consultant in Public Health, Policy and International Health, Programme Director for Health Impact Assessment
Professor Liz Green is a global expert in Health Impact Assessment (HIA) and leads the Wales Health Impact Assessment Support Unit, UK which is also linked to the WHO Collaborating Centre on ‘Investment in Health and Wellbeing’, Public Health Wales. She has directed and led ground-breaking HIAs on Brexit, pandemic restrictions, trade and Climate Change in Wales. She will talk about the Wales' progress in advancing HIA and the levers which have been beneficial such as the unique Wellbeing of Future Generations Act, exploring how HIA has been embedded within policy and planning processes to drive health equity and cross-sector collaboration. She will discuss the capacities needed to successfully implement "Health in All Policies" approaches and integrate health and wellbeing considerations across sectors and how wider determinant focussed HIA will become statutory in 2027.
