Michelle McLean, Charlotte Phelps, Christian Moro, Louise van Herwerden, Susan BrandisThe United Nations (UN) Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) need to be turbocharged to progress a sustainable and equitable future for all. This chapter describes four case studies from an Australian university regarding educational interventions to advance SDG3 ‘Good Health and Well-being’: in Medicine, an assignment in which students choose an SDG to complement SDG3; in Physiology, an approach incorporating planetary health; in Nutrition and Dietetics (N&D) Practice, a food citizenship community partnership; and in Occupational Therapy (OT) Practice, a sustainability lens applied to a lifestyle programme for pre-frail adults. Learning activities in health professions education (HPE) that address SDG3 allow educators to promote this goal alongside other SDGs given their interrelated nature.
