- Abstract
Issue Addressed: A wellbeing economy requires multiple inputs to enable the wholistic vision of a sustainable healthy population and planet. A Health in All Policies (HiAP) approach is a useful way to support policy makers and planners to implement the activities required to support a wellbeing economy. Outline of the Project: Aotearoa New Zealand's Government has explicitly set a path towards a wellbeing economy. Here, we report the utility of a HiAP approach in Greater Christchurch, the largest urban area in the South Island of New Zealand, to achieving the shared societal goals of a sustainable healthy population and environment. We use the World Health Organisation draft Four Pillars for HiAP implementation as a framework for discussion. So What?: The paper adds to the growing number of examples of city and regions supporting a wellbeing agenda, specifically focused on some of the successes and challenges for local HiAP practitioners working within a public health unit in influencing this work.
