The INHERIT Model includes (1) an integrated conceptual framework, including an analytical model, a governance model and an action and evaluation model (2) a set of qualitative and quantitative indicators and (3) a set of health, environment and social impact assessment tools and cost-effectiveness methods.The model provides the building blocks for all research strands throughout the INHERIT project. More generally, it can foster dialogue across sectors of how interventions can meet multiple societal goals, in line with the Sustainable Development Goals. It can guide intersectoral action by helping to screen for unintended consequences on health and health inequalities and fostering opportunities to improve environmental sustainability, health and health equity – achieving a “triple-win”. More details can also be found in an explanatory scientific journal article, which includes an example of how the model works in practice.
Addressing target audiences and expressing needs
- To raise awareness and possibly influence policy
We are looking to:
- Make more explicit the links between the environment, health, wellbeing, health equity, and our lifestyles and behaviours;
- Contribute to raising awareness amongst policy makers and the general public about our (un)sustainable lifestyles and behaviours and how they impact the environment, health and health equity;
- Identify solutions -policies, interventions and innovations- that help make healthy and environmentally sustainable behaviours the easy and attractive ‘default’ option for all.
- EU and Member State Policy-makers
- International Organisations (ex. OECD, FAO, UN, etc.)
- Academia/ Universities
