The well‐being economy and health in all policies: Fostering action for change

This special issue, the 'Well-being Economy and Health in All Policies: Fostering Action', highlights the need for societal change in the way we think about health and well-being.It brings two separate but related concepts together-the well-being economy and Health in All Policies (HiAP).The first concept seeks changes to the way society values and measures progress; and the second requires decisionmakers to work across departmental boundaries to use public policy to create the conditions for health and well-being.The papers included in the special issue explore these two concepts from different perspectives.They unpack the connections between the wellbeing economy and HiAP, share some examples of promising practice, and provide insights into the challenges and opportunities that need to be acted on if we are to move towards a flourishing well-being society; where decision-makers work collaboratively to care for people, planet and future generations.
