Journal Article
A Public Health Agenda for the 2020s
2021
Overview
In the past 20 years, the United States has experienced a cascade of public health crises causing millions of premature deaths and preventable illnesses. Several intersecting health problems define this cascade both nationally and globally. These issues include the COVID-19 pandemic, the climate emergency, the failure of the global food system to adequately nourish the world's population, a growing burden of mental health problems, and the rise of precarious, underpaid, and unsafe work, as shown in Figure 1. Absent intervention, the next decade may be even more perilous. In past health calamities, social movements have mobilized to improve urban living conditions, reduce environmental pollution, and make food safer.4 A first step toward building a public health movement that can take on today's threats to public health is to define a shared agenda that could bring together the many constituencies harmed by the perilous status quo.
