The workshop discussed possible directions of work on urban health and wellbeing that will be considered priority in Asia and the Pacific in the next 3 to 5 years. It aims to promote the use of the systems approach. Indira Nath the newly appointed Chair of the ICSU Scientific Committee for the new 10-year international programme on Health and Wellbeing in the Changing Urban Environment: A Systems Analysis Approach attended the workshop.

The workshop which is the first step in the implementation of ICSU ROAP’s Programme on Health and Wellbeing in the Changing Urban Environment, identified active output-oriented research teams that can potentially contribute towards attracting new funding support and enhancing the success of the programme in the long-run. A full-fledged scoping workshop is planned to be held in August this year.
