Abstract
The WHO Regional Office for the Western Pacific “For the Future” vision1 makes innovation an operational shift, a term used to capture the transformations, in technology, in finance, and in society, that are shaping population health in Member States, and the need to forge an active response. It is this term – transformation – that is key to our progress for a healthier and safer future, not just for the Western Pacific region, but for humankind. We must transform societies to balance economic growth with the resolution of social problems, balance the rising demand for energy with technologies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, balance the urgent need for food security with technology and systems to reduce food waste, and balance the growing intensity of international competition with the promotion of sustainable means of production and trade.
