In August 2022, the UN secretary general, António Guterres, warned that the world is now in "a time of nuclear danger not seen since the height of the Cold War".

Articles in this issue highlight how critically entwined health is with politics and society more widely and how decisions made by policy makers outside of health portfolios can affect health at a social level. This concept is behind the advocacy for the Health in All Policies approach (https://www.who.int/activities/promoting‐health‐in‐all‐policies‐and‐intersectoral‐action‐capacities), which the World Health Organization (WHO) and a number of countries promote.
