This is a global health where greater effectiveness, equity, and excellence can be realized within the United Nations\u2019 Sustainable Development Goals, formulated with the participation of self-determining nations. Yet, in this third decade of the 21st Century, the crisis in global governance with polarizing and unstable geopolitical power centers mean fraying and less effective multilateralism. At the same time, global warming, and ecological degradation, unprecedented and growing humanitarian needs, and major global health challenges of the commons continue as convergent forces shaping the reality of global health today. In this context and drawing from 快播视频\u2019s core commitments to transdisciplinarity and social justice, a critically informed practical problem-solving approach is vital to creating alternatives that can address existing needs and model a way forward for the future of global health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For the 2023-2028 charter, the Dahdaleh Institute for Global Health Research (DI) seeks to enhance effectiveness, equity, and excellence in global health research through a critical problem-solving approach to 21st-century challenges in three thematic areas: 1) Planetary Health, 2) global health and Humanitarianism, and 3) Global Health Foresighting. Research is broadly conceived as knowledge creation (which includes knowledge mobilization and translation) that supports policy and practice relevant to these themes. The DI is recognized for its collaborative and transdisciplinary research and leadership in fostering a new generation of global health scholars and practitioners, who use experimental, experiential, and both qualitative and quantitative methods to actively contribute to the making of the story of global health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"York Research Hubs | Dahdaleh Institute for Global Health Research\" width=\"1778\" height=\"1000\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/XSDWpgCsymY?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-large-font-size\"><em><em>We conduct research, teach, and form partnerships in<\/em> three thematic areas<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns card-deck aspect-ratio is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-1 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column card rounded-0 bg-white is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group card-body\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center card-title h5 wp-block-heading\">Planetary Health<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center card-text\">Our research calls urgent attention to the health of human civilization, the state of the natural systems and ecological boundaries in which we live, and the interdependent relationships and dynamics between these interwoven processes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center text-uppercase\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.yorku.ca\/dighr\/planetary-health\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Learn More about Planetary Health<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column card rounded-0 bg-white is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group card-body\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center card-title h5 wp-block-heading\">Global Health &amp; Humanitarianism<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">We work to improve the clinical public health effectiveness of humanitarian response with scientific research, technological innovation, an appreciation of complex adaptive systems, and critical perspectives that address the realities of humanitarian policy and practice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center text-uppercase\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.yorku.ca\/dighr\/humanitarianism\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Learn More about Global Health &amp; Humanitarianism<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column card rounded-0 bg-white is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group card-body\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center card-title h5 wp-block-heading\">Global Health Foresighting<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center card-text\">What is the global health we want?
