BackgroundThe social determinants of health have been widely recognised yet there remains a lack of clarity regarding what constitute the macro-economic determinants of health and what can be done to address them. An umbrella review of systematic reviews was conducted to identify the evidence for the health and health inequalities impact of population level macroeconomic factors, strategies, policies and interventions.MethodsNine databases were searched for systematic reviews meeting the Database of Abstracts of Reviews of Effects (DARE) criteria using a novel conceptual framework. Studies were assessed for quality using a standardised instrument and a narrative overview of the findings is presented.ResultsThe review found a large (n = 62) but low quality systematic review-level evidence base. The results indicated that action to promote employment and improve working conditions can help improve health and reduce gender-based health inequalities. Evidence suggests that market regulation of tobacco, alcohol and food is likely to be effective at improving health and reducing inequalities in health including strong taxation, or restriction of advertising and availability. Privatisation of utilities and alcohol sectors, income inequality, and economic crises are likely to increase health inequalities. Left of centre governments and welfare state generosity may have a positive health impact, but evidence on specific welfare interventions is mixed. Trade and trade policies were found to have a mixed effect. There were no systematic reviews of the health impact of monetary policy or of large economic institutions such as central banks and regulatory organisations.ConclusionsThe results of this study provide a simple yet comprehensive framework to support policy-makers and practitioners in addressing the macroeconomic determinants of health. Further research is needed in low and middle income countries and further reviews are needed to summarise evidence in key gaps identified by this review.Trial registrationProtocol for umbrella review prospectively registered with PROSPERO CRD42017068357.

“…The Lisbon Strategy, from the substantive perspective, was not a new initiative, as before there had been attempts to introduce various processes in order to recover and reorganize the functioning of the EU (Stec, Grzebyk, 2018). The Lisbon Strategy aimed to transform Europe into the most competitive economy in the world (Silander 2019), but according to some problem areas and other problems that arose during implementation, it was not as successful as expected. The Europe 2020 strategy is the EU strategy for sustainable and inclusive growth, for fighting the structural weaknesses of the European economies, and for improving their competitiveness.…”

“…Such targets not only provide for important measures against ongoing climate change, but also provide new jobs in a transformed, greener economy with green products and services and makes the EU become a green, global competitive actor (Silander 2019). This sustainable growth will require the implementation of countries' emission reduction commitments in a way that maximizes benefits (Stăncioiu, Costea-Dunărinţu, Păduraru, 2017) and minimizes costs, including through the dissemination of innovative technological solutions.…”

Each economy must adapt its activities to the protection of the environment. It is now an essential part of everyday life, in the face of various climate changes. The Europe 2020 strategy sets out a set of objectives in the EU, including those promoting environmental sustainability, called sustainable growth. The aim of the paper is to determine, if the performance of the country, in the area of greenhouse gas emissions reduction is adequate to the strategy Europe 2020. In the analysis of greenhouse gas emission reductions, we will also focus on the agriculture sector and compare the development over time with the development in other EU countries. The analyzed period is 10 years, from 2009 - 2018. The article investigated the performance of greenhouse gas emissions in the example of EU (including the Great Britain) countries.

“…This chapter has asserted that the EU constitutes a system of governance, and that the European Commission has a prior record of accomplishment as an engine driving the promotion of sustainable development in Europe. The initiation of Agenda 2020 for smart, sustainable and inclusive growth was a major reform within Europe between 2010 and 2020 and yielded great results within most EU member states (see Silander, 2019). Such efforts within Europe have influenced the debate and decisions leading up to the UN Agenda 2030.…”

as the Organization celebrates its seventieth anniversary, have decided today on new global Sustainable Development Goals. On behalf of the peoples we serve, we have adopted a historic decision on a comprehensive, far-reaching and people-centred set of universal and transformative Goals and targets. We commit ourselves to working tirelessly for the full implementation of this Agenda by 2030. (United Nations, 2015: 4) About 70 years ago, state leaders around the globe decided to create the United Nations (UN) to emphasize the importance of global solidarity and collaboration to provide for peace and prosperity. Today, a new generation of state leaders have decided to work towards sustainable peace and prosperity to safeguard our planet and human dignity. On 25
