Abstract

The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, adopted
by all United Nations Member States in 2015, defines 17
Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) (1). There is a close
link between SDGs and another concept championed by
the United Nations: WHO – Social Determinants of Health
(SDH) (2), incorporated into the WHO Health 2020 policy
framework (3) (Table 1). The synergy and obvious similarity
between the aims stated in both documents guided the
WHO decision to introduce the SDGs into their future strat-
egies. The European Commission created the Proposal for a
New European Consensus on Development – Our World, our
Dignity, our Future (4,5), setting new agenda in the light of
global challenges and the AGENDA 2030 by the United Na-
tions.
