Marmot Review and role of sustainability in tackling health inequalities

Fri, 26/02/2010

Fair Society, Healthy Lives – the report of the Marmot review - was published on 11 February.  The review stressed that tackling health inequalities was a matter of social justice, with real economic benefits and savings.  It required action on the social gradient of health – not just on the health of the most disadvantaged – across the social determinants of health. The report builds on 10 years of work that has seen health and life expectancy improve for all, including those people living in disadvantaged groups and areas. 

Sustainable Development - the key to tackling health inequalities (SDC Feb 2010)

 

This document, produced by the Sustainable Development Commission in February 2010 is the report of "The SDC's contribution to 'Fair Society, Healthy Lives (2010) The Marmot Review' finds measures such as active travel, promoting green spaces and healthy eating will yield co-benefits for both health and carbon emissions and warns opportunities for healthy, low-carbon living should be distributed in ways that favour people with low incomes and so help to reduce their vulnerability to ill-health."
