The Bangkok Charter for Health Promotion in a Globalized World identifies actions, commitments and pledges required to address the determinants of health in a globalized world.

It recognizes:

• the inequality between developed and developing nations
• the changing trend of communication and consumption in a globalized world
• urbanization
• global environmental change
• commercialization

Five key areas of action are:

1. Partner and build alliances with private, non-private, non-governmental or international organizations to create sustainable actions
2. Invest in sustainable policies, actions and infrastructure to address the determinants of health
3. Build capacity for policy development, health promotion practice and health literacy
4. Regulate and legislate to ensure a high level of protection from harm and enable equal opportunity for health and well being
5. Advocate health based on human rights and solidarity
