In The Lancet (July 22, p 346),1 Richard Horton asked why the global health community is failing to effectively respond to the global rise of non-communicable diseases (NCDs). A number of opportunities for progress were highlighted. Our two organisations, NCDFREE and the Young Professionals Chronic Disease Network (YP-CDN), are firmly committed to tackling the global challenge of NCDs through advocacy and collaboration that leverages the power of young people. We fully support the recommendations outlined by Horton, and these two organisations represent the beginnings of the bold social movement that is so urgently needed.

Opportunities and challenges within urban health and sustainable development
Current Opinion in Environmental Sustainability
The United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals mark a unique window of opportunity for both human and planetary health. With rising life expectancy and rapidly expanding urban populations exposed to pollution and sedentary lifestyles, there is a greater focus on reducing the gap between life expectancy and number of healthy years lived, whilst limiting anthropogenic activities contributing to pollution and climate change.

The United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals mark a unique window of opportunity for both human and planetary health. With rising life expectancy and rapidly expanding urban populations exposed to pollution and sedentary lifestyles, there is a greater focus on reducing the gap between life expectancy and number of healthy years lived, whilst limiting anthropogenic activities contributing to pollution and climate change. Thus, urban development and policies, which can create win–win situations for our planet and human health, falls into the realm and expertise of public health. However, some of these policies have potential trade-offs in terms of associated risks. Here we review some of these opportunities and challenges related to active transport and natural environments in urban settings.
