From the Ottawa Charter to Planetary Health
摘要
The application of salutogenesis in health promotion practice and policy has a history of partial but evolving realisation. Following Antonovsky’s advocacy of the use of these ideas in public health, social movements and global strategies have had varying degrees of success of implementing salutogenic perspectives. Starting with feminist health promotion activism in the 1970s, this chapter explores the translation of salutogenic principles into the Health for All movement (1981). We then explore the development of the Ottawa Charter for Health Promotion (1986), the Millennium Development Goals (2000) and the Sustainable Development Goals (2015) in the context of salutogenesis. As the field and practice of health promotion evolved, so too did the implementation of salutogenic concepts in global development strategies. We end the chapter with a conceptual and practical introduction to the current and evolving planetary health paradigm, reflecting that the participatory vision of feminists in the 1970s is becoming realised through a new process of “planetary salutogenesis.” Through acts of joyful creation, a diverse range of voices are now shaping the health promotion and global development agenda, through a form of salutogenic dialogue of meaningful interactions between groups and nations, towards common planetary goals.
