Good health usually facilitates societal development, and development often promotes improved health. However, while good health may be a prerequisite for societal development, some behavioural determinants of health, such as attitudes towards the environment, and people\u2019s lifestyles and consumption patterns, can impede the sustainability of the development process in the longer term. This perspective paper argues that there is a need to rethink 21<sup>st<\/sup>\u00a0century health promotion practices by pairing sustainability literacy with health promotion for changing dietary and physical activity behaviour patterns to improve population health and contribute to the achievement of Sustainable Development Goal 3 (to ensure healthy lives and promote wellbeing for all at all ages).<\/p>\n<div class=\"item author_bios\">\n<h3 class=\"label\">AUTHOR BIOGRAPHY<\/h3>\n<div class=\"sub_item\">\n<div class=\"label\">Gloria Macassa,\u00a0<span class=\"affiliation\">Department of Occupational and Public Health Science, University of G\u00e4vle<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"value\">\n<p>EPIUnit \u2013 Instituto de Sa\u00fade\u00a0P\u00fablica, Universidade do Porto, Porto, Portugal<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"item references\">\n<h3 class=\"label\">REFERENCES<\/h3>\n<div class=\"value\">\n<p>United Nations.
