Abstract

What do complex issues such as inequity, climate disruption, food insecurity and obesity challenge us to learn? These are wicked problems that require action at every scale. With multiple, interacting causes, solutions lie well beyond the traditional domain of any one jurisdiction or organisational entity, and beyond business-as-usual. A discourse is emerging in health promotion literature on relevant new perspectives and practitioners now appear to be poised at a significant learning threshold.
