Characterizing Nexus-informed Cross-sectoral potential of the Sustainable Development Goals and Implications for Advancing Health Equity (Prince George, Canada, 2021).
| Nexus-informed Cross-sectoral Potential of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) | Current Evidence for Advancing Health Equity |
|---|---|
| The SDGs as an Analytical tool | Uses a systems-thinking basis to unpack interlinkages and draw correlations with the social determinants of health [59, 60, 73] |
| The SDGs as a Conceptual Framework | A paradigm to navigate coordination challenges in analyzing the nature and extent of trade-offs which breed injustices and inequities in socio-environmental outcomes [58, 61, 71, 72] |
| The SDGs as a Discourse | Uses value-laden judgements and frames to draw attention to governance, power sharing and equity concerns in terms of these lines of questioning: “Integration for whom? Who leads the coordinated efforts? Whose interests are integrated? Whose are traded-off?” [26, 57,65, 66, 81] |
