A recent field of study are the digital determinants of health and their interface with other determinants \u2013 the social determinants can be reinforced by the digital divide and the commercial determinants drive platforms and algorithms that impact on our health. The extensive extraction of data has led to a large market for data commodification, these data are sold for profit, not shared to ensure public goods. Regulation is even slower and more complex than in relation to other commercial determinants. The data capitalists have become not only important economic drivers they are now also geopolitical actors.

Gun violence ravages communities and destroys opportunities to be healthy; people live in fear, they do not use public space, children have a hard time learning and sleep, among other things, is disrupted. Gun violence is often accompanied by other forms of community structural violence, such as lack of basic services, affordable housing, safe streets, green spaces and economic opportunities.

This movement for a more democratic and inclusive economy has taken root in many countries, as local communities mobilise to change the very logic on which enterprise and territorial development are based.&nbsp;Community benefit replaces shareholder profits through collective action and ownership. New development strategies, innovative financial tools and new public policy, including framework legislation, have been implemented in countries as diverse as Senegal, France, South Korea, Morocco, Canada and Brazil. The SSE produces concrete results directly, through job creation and new products and services, as well as indirectly through&nbsp;positive impacts on health and wellbeing. Examples from different continents will be presented to illustrate the positive impacts of the SSE and the challenges for its growth.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading has-very-light-gray-to-cyan-bluish-gray-gradient-background has-background\">Addressing Commercial Determinants of Health in Small Island Developing States \u2013 Warning labels and Sugar taxes in the Caribbean<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:25%\"><div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-rounded\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1200\" data-src=\"https:\/\/unescochair-ghe.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Alafia-Samuels-edited.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9172 lazyload\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1200px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1200\/1200;object-fit:cover;width:200px;height:200px\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/unescochair-ghe.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Alafia-Samuels-edited.png 1200w, https:\/\/unescochair-ghe.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Alafia-Samuels-edited-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/unescochair-ghe.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Alafia-Samuels-edited-1024x1024.png 1024w, https:\/\/unescochair-ghe.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Alafia-Samuels-edited-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/unescochair-ghe.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Alafia-Samuels-edited-768x768.png 768w, https:\/\/unescochair-ghe.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Alafia-Samuels-edited-12x12.png 12w, https:\/\/unescochair-ghe.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Alafia-Samuels-edited-512x512.png 512w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:75%\">\n<p><strong>Professor T.

Imports, mostly of ultra processed packaged foods, comprise 60 \u2013 80% and higher of foods consumed in most SIDS. This unhealthy eating and resulting obesity, are driving the high rates premature NCD mortality in SIDS. In response, the Caribbean has collectively addressed NCD policy, including the commercial determinants of health, two examples being front of package warning labels and taxes on sugar sweetened beverages. A regional policy to recommend black octagonal front of package warning labels in the Caribbean was proposed by the Caribbean Community (CARICOM) Caribbean Regional Organisation for Standards and Quality (CROSQ). However this standard was not approved. Barbados implemented a 10% tax on sugary drinks in 2015, increasing to 20% in 2022. The earlier 10% tax resulted in a 4% decrease in the sales of SSBs &nbsp;and an 8% increase in the sales of water. The 20% tax is currently being evaluated, but was impacted by COVID disruptions.<br><strong>Learning Objective<\/strong>: To better understand factors influencing the commercial determinants of food policy in small island developing states<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"Day-3\">12 June 2025: Day 3 <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading has-very-light-gray-to-cyan-bluish-gray-gradient-background has-background\">Welcome<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:25%\"><div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-rounded\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"623\" height=\"623\" data-src=\"https:\/\/unescochair-ghe.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Goof-with-black-background.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7689 lazyload\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 623px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 623\/623;object-fit:cover;width:200px;height:200px\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/unescochair-ghe.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Goof-with-black-background.png 623w, https:\/\/unescochair-ghe.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Goof-with-black-background-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/unescochair-ghe.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Goof-with-black-background-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/unescochair-ghe.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Goof-with-black-background-12x12.png 12w, https:\/\/unescochair-ghe.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Goof-with-black-background-512x512.png 512w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 623px) 100vw, 623px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:75%\">\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>MODERATOR<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Goof Buijs<\/strong>&nbsp;is the manager of UNESCO Chair \/ WHO Collaborating Centre Global Health &amp; Education.

Through tools such as Health System Charters and Health Assemblies, NHCO empowers local stakeholders\u2014including schools, families, and local governments\u2014to co-develop responsive policies. A key example is the prevention of e-cigarette use among youth, a growing public health concern. Although e-cigarettes are illegal in Thailand, increasing usage in schools has prompted the development of School Health System Charters and a National Specific Health Assembly on this issue. NHCO\u2019s participatory policy platforms ensure multisectoral engagement\u2014linking education, public health, and civil society\u2014in both policy formulation and implementation. This approach reflects Thailand\u2019s broader health governance model, which emphasizes community-based health promotion and participation, early prevention, and the right to health. By embedding participatory tools into national and local health systems, NHCO strengthens efforts not only in E-Cigarette o control but also in building long-term, inclusive, and community-driven health resilience.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading has-very-light-gray-to-cyan-bluish-gray-gradient-background has-background\">Community health activism challenged by traditional health systems: Implementation mechanisms and challenges<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:25%\"><div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-rounded\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"376\" height=\"376\" data-src=\"https:\/\/unescochair-ghe.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Tanguy-Bognon-edited.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9247 lazyload\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 376px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 376\/376;object-fit:cover;width:200px;height:200px\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/unescochair-ghe.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Tanguy-Bognon-edited.jpeg 376w, https:\/\/unescochair-ghe.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Tanguy-Bognon-edited-300x300.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/unescochair-ghe.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Tanguy-Bognon-edited-150x150.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/unescochair-ghe.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Tanguy-Bognon-edited-12x12.jpeg 12w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 376px) 100vw, 376px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:75%\">\n<p><strong>Tanguy Bognon<\/strong> is a Senior Public Health specialist and PhD candidate with more than 17 years extensive expertise in Health promotion, health program management and a large experience in health system strengthening.

It is based on the direct involvement of local people in defending their right to health and co-constructing responses tailored to their needs. This type of activism mobilises community players (communities, associations, local leaders) who become agents of change, making it easier for people to take control of their own health. Implementation mechanisms include training for local players, participatory advocacy and the structuring of community initiatives around multi-sector partnerships. However, a number of challenges remain: precarious funding, volunteer fatigue, and weak links between community players and formal healthcare systems. To strengthen its impact, it is essential to formalise the roles of activists, guarantee sustainable technical and financial support, and integrate community approaches into public policies.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading has-very-light-gray-to-cyan-bluish-gray-gradient-background has-background\">The hidden health crisis: how fossil fuels threaten human health and what we can do about it<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:25%\"><div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-rounded\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"642\" height=\"642\" data-src=\"https:\/\/unescochair-ghe.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Giulia-G-high-quality-cut-edited.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9179 lazyload\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 642px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 642\/642;object-fit:cover;width:200px;height:200px\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/unescochair-ghe.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Giulia-G-high-quality-cut-edited.jpeg 642w, https:\/\/unescochair-ghe.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Giulia-G-high-quality-cut-edited-300x300.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/unescochair-ghe.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Giulia-G-high-quality-cut-edited-150x150.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/unescochair-ghe.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Giulia-G-high-quality-cut-edited-12x12.jpeg 12w, https:\/\/unescochair-ghe.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Giulia-G-high-quality-cut-edited-512x512.jpeg 512w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 642px) 100vw, 642px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-top is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:75%\">\n<p><strong>Giulia Gasparri<\/strong> is a young professional with international policy and advocacy experience spanning the global health, climate change and environment sectors.

Several examples of initiatives and structures helping to improve quality of life, living conditions and health are presented.

Community health is promoted as a national strategy, with central government funding and execution delegated to regional governments, most of which have developed their own strategies. In some regions, implementation is still in progress, but there is notable intersectoral coordination and professional training. However, barriers such as staff shortages and limited experience in community engagement persist. Commercial determinants of health include the unequal availability and affordability of healthy foods in urban areas, the greater exposure of children from low-income families to unhealthy food advertising, and the lack of community tools to critically address pressures from industries promoting unhealthy products. Another key aspect is that, despite the existence of legal frameworks to promote citizen participation, there are ongoing challenges to ensure the effective inclusion and recognition of vulnerable groups, such as migrants, in decision-making processes. Community organizations have developed valuable participatory processes, often outside institutional channels. The team emphasizes the need for genuine participation and a focus on living conditions and environments to strengthen community health initiatives.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-wide\" \/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"Reading-suggestions\">Reading suggestions<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Tanguy Bognon<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Lippman, S.
