The Wellbeing Economy Forum is held with the support of the JA PreventNCD project, a European joint action aimed at reducing the burden of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) and cancer in Europe, focusing on prevention, coordinated policies, and actions to address social inequalities and risk factors. The European Union leads JA PreventNCD, and Iceland is among the key countries involved in the project.
