Power, accountability and global health governance

In this webinar David McCoy will speak about the principles of good global health governance and examine current and evolving power dynamics in global health and how accountability deficits need to be plugged to improve the quality and effectiveness of global health governance. In doing so he will highlight the role and accountability of powerful private actors in global health governance and describe some of the work being done by the United Nations University International Institute for Global Health (UNU-IIGH).

The ‘Saving the World’ webinar series, presented by the Planetary Health Equity Hothouse, releases a new episode each month, discussing the intersections between climate change, inequity and human health. The webinars focus on actions that enable transformative change away from the harmful consumptogenic system to systems that promote good health, social equity and environmental wellbeing.
