The problems related to the process of industrialisation such as biodiversity depletion climate change and a worsening of health and living conditions especially but not only in developing countries intensify. Therefore there is an increasing need to search for integrated solutions to make development more sustainable. The United Nations has acknowledged the problem and approved the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. On 1st January 2016 the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the Agenda officially came into force. These goals cover the three dimensions of sustainable development: economic growth social inclusion and environmental protection. The Encyclopedia of the UN Sustainable Development Goals comprehensively addresses the SDGs in an integrated way. The Encyclopedia encompasses 17 volumes each one devoted to one of the 17 SDGs. This volume addresses SDG 3 namely Ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages and contains the description of a range of terms to grow a better understanding and foster knowledge. Ensuring healthy lives and promoting the well-being for all at all ages is essential to sustainable development.
