AWARH 2020 Event: Alcohol and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals

Alcohol is a major obstacle to sustainable development, adversely affecting 14 of 17 SDGs.

The focus in this event is on how evidence-based alcohol policies can contribute to achieving the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in Europe. In conjunction with this event, WHO Europe is also launching its new factsheet for policy makers “Alcohol consumption and sustainable development” and there will also be a presentation of a new Special Issue Alcohol Control Policy and Health in Europe of the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health.
