INHERIT is Looking for ‘Triple Win’ Ideas for a More Sustainable Future

INHERIT is about stimulating effective policies, practices, and innovations across different sectors that address key environmental stressors of health together with the underlying causes of health inequity.

This Horizon 2020 research project aims at encouraging us to modify our current lifestyles characterised by a ‘take, make, consume, dispose’ model  of growth, to formulate scenarios for a more sustainable future, as well as design, implement, and test inter-sectoral initiatives to achieve the desired change.

The following examples, drawn from our initial research, help protect the environment and can directly or indirectly improve health and tackle health inequalities, providing a ‘triple win’:

  • Social enterprises active in reuse, repair and recycling, like those that are part of the ‘RREUSE’ network, which helps bring unemployed people back into work and get products back to the market at affordable prices, providing low income groups with essential household items.
  • The ‘Beat the Street’ scheme, a global initiative that encourages children and parents to walk to school in order to gain points for their school and compete with others.

Do you have other examples of policies or initiatives that can lead to the triple win? INHERIT is collecting ideas, and would like to hear from you! Send us your example or idea and we’ll review and feature it on our website to help initiate thinking and contribute to our efforts to stimulate positive change for more sustainable lifestyles for all.

Share your thoughts on our new website: www.inherit.eu
