Collaborating across sectors for well-being
Strengthening well-being approaches in a changing world requires efforts and coordinated action from all sectors of society. This means enhancing collaboration not only across government departments and levels, but also improving public-private sector partnerships, and boosting links with researchers, civil society, and community based organisations among others. It also requires deeper involvement of the general public, and of specific target groups, in well-being initiatives, with increased focus on co-creation in evidence building, policy design and implementation, as well as other forms of societal action.
One of the key objectives of the Forum is to bring together experts from different sectors, backgrounds, disciplines, and cultures and cross-sectoral collaboration will be an underlying theme across the event. Particular focus will be given to public-private partnerships and other areas of cross-sectoral collaboration with respect to climate action, data production and use, and the development of safe, inclusive AI applications for well-being.
