ADVANCING QUALITY OF LIFE THROUGH SUSTAINABILITY POLICIES THAT PRIORITIZE HEALTH AND EQUALITY

Abstract

Effective sustainability policies are essential in advancing society's quality of life, particularly with regard to public health. Sustainability does not only include environmental protection, but is also closely related to social and economic equality. This study examines how sustainability policies can advance society's quality of life by considering health as part of the policy. Inclusive and equitable policies, which take into account vulnerable groups in society, will be more successful in creating healthy and sustainable societies. An integrated policy approach based on society participation is needed to achieve this aim. People who are educated about sustainability and health will be more supportive of such policies, as well as active in protecting and preserving the environment. Thus, sustainability policies that prioritize health and social equality will create a broad positive impact on society and the environment.
