Behavioural Change
Behavioural Change provides a comprehensive overview of what is known about our ability to change behaviour of people across a wide range of domains including smoking, physical activity and exercise, eating and nutrition, sexual behaviour, drugs and alcohol use, sleep, crash and injury prevention, depression, gambling and self-management of chronic illness. It not only reviews the evidence concerning these issues but also provides original insights into how effective and sustainable intervention programs may be designed and delivered to address them.

Looking Within: Finding an Environmental Justice and Global Citizenship Lens
This volume was first published by Inter-Disciplinary Press in 2013. Can we adopt human rights concepts, long used to frame problems of social justice, to define environmental justice? Can existing social institutions provide models and tools for achieving environmental justice? This volume views old models of agency through new lenses and examines how several social institutions, such as law, education and health care, address specific environmental problems. The volume presents arguments for human obligations towards the environment and future generations. Scholars assess the limitations of existing models and others point to recent failures in protecting the interests of indigenous groups or species. And on a hopeful note, examples are given of institutions that promise some success in effecting environmental goals. As this discussion of citizenship suggests, much like environmental justice, a global context both in definition and application is required.
Supporting Member States in reaching informed decision-making on engaging with private sector entities for the prevention and control of noncommunicable diseases
The Decision-making tool promotes a principles-based approach in engagements with private sector entities so that credibility, integrity and sound government processes are ensured and protected. It offers a systematic methodology for identifying opportunities where the private sector could contribute to strengthening national and subnational NCD responses, while safeguarding public health policies from undue influence and conflicts of interest. The tool was designed to be practical and applicable across diverse contexts and scenarios, and throughout the various phases of an engagement cycle (i.e. planning, implementation, monitoring and evaluation). The process consists of three phases, comprising a total of 10 steps that aim to guide users to reach informed decisions on engagement with private sector entities. Each step contains a set of questions presented in a sequential and comprehensive manner. It will help strengthening Member States’ capacity to engage with the private sector, by conducting due diligence of private sector actors, and identifying and mitigating risks, including conflict of interest and other risks associated with the engagement.
