Future of Health Promotion in the Asia‐Pacific Region in an Era of Global Disruption: An Interview With Dr. Sandro Demaio
This interview with Dr. Sandro Demaio, Director of the WHO Asia-Pacific Centre for Environment and Health, explores the future of health promotion in the region amid global disruption. Reflecting on his experiences at the intersection of climate, environment and health, Dr. Demaio highlights the importance of community-led models, intergenerational collaboration and governance systems that empower diverse voices. This discussion also considers the challenges of disinformation, shifting geopolitics and strained public trust, while pointing to opportunities for Australia and the wider Asia-Pacific to lead in systems-based, equity-driven approaches to health promotion.
